Movin' Out

So, it turns out that if you do a Google image search for "dream home" you get a really gruesome-looking Chinese horror film. According to the internet, it's a violent and grisly critique of the high prices of Hong Kong real estate.

Awesome.

The reason I even conducted the search in the first place was to celebrate my new Astoria apartment! I officially got the keys today from the nice-but-frazzled tenant who was moving out, and the friendly super, who speaks very little English. The next step is painting the walls a fun color and getting furniture and attempting some semblance of design. All my design-minded friends, I will be soliciting advice from you in the coming weeks...

  1. Congratulations Meilin! Moving in is so exciting. I hope you are making it comfy and all yours. Can't wait to see it perhaps over Christmas.

    PS - I'm digging the 2nd movie cover. What a random search result. Google somehow must have known it was Maggie Glass typing ;)

  2. Xie xie Deng Jie! I wish you were here to scour IKEA with me and pick out good designs. I loved your green-bamboo-themed room in Dalian.
