Here's a bit about our neighborhood and getting around town - and my favorite snacks.
Our apartment is located on the border of the Central and Sheung Wan neighborhoods near the corner of Gough and Aberdeen Streets. Gough St and the Sheung Wan neighborhood are an up and coming part of Hong Kong. Even since Sam moved in 9 months ago, he's seen one of his favorite dinner spots close down because the rent is increasing like crazy. This seems to be happening to several smaller shops in the area while high-end boutiques and name-brands like Ralph Lauren Kids move in. Our Sheung Wan stop on the MTR (public light rail) is currently the last stop on the west end. Work is underway on two more stops after ours, so the area is growing pretty quickly right now.
