Home Sweet Home!

I’ve found a home!

After a few false starts I have found a nice apartment, right in the centre of the city. It is on the 26th floor of a new apartment building, with fantastic 180 degree views across the city and over one of the rivers. Being a new building I am the first resident of this particular apartment. It is one-bedroom, fully-furnished and has all the mod-cons: fridge, microwave, HDTV, broadband internet and best of all… a WESTERN TOILET! I move in before the weekend. Photos to follow.



Push the button and it flushes!

In other news... yesterday I went shopping to get some bits and pieces for the apartment – kitchen utensils, food etc etc. I was excited to find that I can readily get the following staples:

Tim Tams
basil pesto
stuffed olives
lasagna sheets

All very exciting. Until I got home and remembered that I have a ‘Chinese kitchen’ in the apartment ie. gas burners but no oven… kinda difficult to make lasagna without an oven eh?

In other news Absolute vodka is exactly half the price that it is back home so I’ll be stocking up on that I think.

Yay, western toilets,


Hmmmmmmmm lasagne without an oven. How about slow cooking in a heavy pot on the stove then using a blow torch at the end to get the cheese just right..............
Okay bad idea in an apartment

Bringing back cheap vodka may prove difficult so I guess you'll just have to drink my share. I'll have seven bottles please. I don't mind if you space them out over the next week. xx love Brad
