Our Move to Wangjing

After a couple days of apartment hunting...and several hours of walking.....we have found an apartment in Wangjing that has 2 bedrooms! It will be so nice to finally be in the same town as my work and not to have to commute for an hour plus one way everyday. The nice thing is....we are right next to the subway...there is a bus stop right outside our gate....and there is a Starbucks on the corner (for when Julie comes to visit***hint...hint***).

The bus that I normally take to work is only up and over a block so it won't take long to get to work in the morning or afternoon depending on what shift I am working. Just past the subway exits on our side of the road is a park type area where people practice Tai Chi every morning.

Our apartment building in Wangjing. We are on the 15th floor.
 The views from are apartment are quite impressive and the skyline image...with all of the skyscapers rising in every direction...are actually beyond description!

The apartment has 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, kitchen, and a drying room. It also came with a washer (no dryer...thus the need for a drying room), but no oven. Marc said that he and Amy have a toaster oven and that they even made a pumpking pie in it during Thanksgiving!

I guess we just need to get settled in and explore our neighborhood and see what is out there around our apartment!
