I got a bit behind on blogging - so I am lumping the end of summer into one post.
While Patrick's Mom & Brother were visiting us - our office relocated from TST (Tsim Sha Tsui) to Whampoa.
Here is the set up for the traditional opening of the office - pork and fruit.
One of the prominent features in our new neighborhood is a boat in the middle of the city - which is actually restaurants and shops.
Gwen continued took a few trips to China. A few highlights: hometown of Tsingtao beer and some good fruit.
In the first week of August Gwen's team came to Hong Kong for a week in the new office.
At some point, we took a bit of time to relax and saw the Incredibles 2 in the fancy movie theater.
The move to the new office had at least one thing going for it - A great Korean restaurant.
One beautiful Sunday afternoon we took advantage of the weather and took the Star Ferry Harbor Tour
Here is a good shot of where we live and the big things around us. The High Speed Train station opened at the end of September, and the Opera house will open in January.
Here is a reference of our old and new office locations - we have a slightly different angle view of the harbor.
More of our weekends started with coffee at 2 of our favorite places - Crema and Alternative.
Another trip to Shanghai for Gwen. Highlights are of Goose Island Brewery (close to hotel), figuring out how to take the subway to work, and the cute (but not environmentally friendly) Starbucks coffee carrier.
To end the summer we rode out one of the worst typhoons in Hong Kong history - Mangkhut. It was on Sunday, Sept 16 - and we sat around all day watching the rain, listening to the wind and watching Netflix. Here is a screenshot of the phone. Hurricane signal 10 is as high as it goes here. Hurricane level 10 here, begins at around the level of a Cat 1 Hurricane in the US.
We worked from home on Monday and Tuesday. The office did not take the typhoon too well.
Here is the window by Gwen's desk
They estimate it will take 6 months to a year to replace all the windows....
