Gorgeous pictures, but my god HOW HIGH UP do you live?

I don't think I've ever seen an apartment block that tall.
It's like something out of a 1950s SF magazine cover.


There are lots and lots of very tall highrise apartments in Hong Kong.
The city consists of very little land and the poplulations are in the
millions.
So the only way to house them are in highrises. There are also many
mountains.

Good point - no room for sprawl! Nowhere to go but *up*.

You really do have an amazing view from your window.

There's a tower like that near Berkeley that's close to the bay.

It's the rainy season in Hong Kong and the girls like to smoosh down
in their bed by the window and watch the weather. While they were
doing that, I spun their bed around and they posed for a few pictures.

Not worried about the clouds enveloping the mountains:

It's too good to be true for them to pose like this:

I'm on the 38th floor; my block has 50 floors in total.

For new-ish Hong Kong residential blocks, that's a bit shorter than
normal. The blocks they're building now are generally the 50-60
floors.

The cats love the view. They can watch the tiny humans walking around.
I'm sure they fantasize about one day getting hold of one of those
tiny human beings, and exacting some kind of revenge.

Those tiny little creaters would barely be an appetizer!

The girls still look very impish and elfin - I wonder if that's an
oriental cat trait? They don't seem much changed from a year ago -
for example, one of my favorites where Naughty seems to be saying
something:

LOL Naughty looks like she's got something major plotted.
