I flew into Shanghai late on Sunday night.. just in time for a week-long whirlwind of conferences, meetings, and all-round madness. Unfortunately, Chris didn’t end up going on the flight with me.. because he had to go to Seattle instead – coincidently he also had a week of conferences!
New Harbour Service Apartments was the place we selected since it was smack bang in the City and also across the road from my office. No regrets at all, as I’m delighted at its proximity to everything – a mere 2 mins walk to work across the road, food and shops lined up and down alllllll the surrounding streets – ranging from highend to little roadside joints. It’s fabulous!
The apartment is pretty roomy, bigger than mine in Australia I think. Gorgeous views and really great service. The best part is that the maid comes in 2x/week to clean the place – no housework for me – woohoo!!! I dragged out the spare quilt and snuggle under it on the couch whilst I’m watching TV and surfing the internet. Ahhh simple luxuries…
A little kitchen near the entrance. Fully equipped but don’t think we’ll be using
it much:P See the water dispenser on the left? It’s ‘cos you can’t drink tap
water in Shanghai.. at least not without giving yourself a killer stomach ache 😉
Combined dining and living room. I love the wood flooring
Plus it’s a gorgeous view! We’re smack bang in the middle of the City
Bathroom. Not particular exciting except that they don’t provide
tissues. For some crazy reason, in China, they use toilet paper
in place of tissues! So we need to buy our own…
Cozy bedroom, also with a fantastic view
The other bedroom.

Great choice! Your apt looks wonderful!
Strange question but is there an oven in the kitchen? My cousin said it is very expensive to have an oven installed in China as most don’t use ovens. Seems like you are settling in pretty quickly! I just came back from there on a one month holiday to visit family and it was great despite the freeeeezing cold.
ya there is.. haven’t really used it though 😛

I really like your apartment! It looks very cosy!!
it’s nice! my fave part is the location tho.. 🙂
So spacious, and the view is awesome!! I want an indoor pool!
I’m SO hoping our chosen apartment later has a gym/pool (and isn’t too exorbitantly priced)..
What a nice place to shack up for the time being.
Too bad it’s not permanent… i wish!

They say not to drink the tap water here too because there are traces of medical drugs in it. Your apartment is lovely! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it. 🙂
Yeah, everywhere’s got those big barrels.. i love ’em cos hot water comes out of them too, so no need to use a kettle!

indoor heated pool!
i can’t wait to use it.. once the freakin’ air shipment arrives with my swimsuit!
Woohoo! You are just right next to Huaihai Road and People’s Square! It’s really a good location!
The water always taste weird. Silly me used to drink the tap water (boiled) and it always leave a salty after-taste. Then someone told me its not mean to be drank, boiled or not. :X
I love huai hai road! Think we’ll move there later 🙂
Ahhh yeah you’re meant to drink the water out of those big barrels, like the one I’ve got in the kitchen!

Wow, looks pretty awesome! So comfy. 🙂
it’s such a luxury not having to do housework.. simple pleasures..hee!

The water is also really disgusting, the first week I was there I found it really difficult to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth out because the water was so gross. Got used to it though.
Looking forward to more entries of your new life 🙂
