Harmony Mansion

The narrow entrance to our building is to the right
of the "MESSINA" sign; there is a code we punch
in to unlock the door, and a staff member is always
on duty at the desk inside. The store with the maroon
front just to the right of our entrance is a bakery!

Can you see the bakery to the right?! 

We live in an 18-story apartment building on very busy Hennessey Road, in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong Island. Our building even has a name: Harmony Mansion. The other 9 missionary couples also live in the building, but we're scattered throughout and we are the only ones on the 12th floor. It has been so cool to learn a different way of living, kind of a cross between Asian and British, with a Hong Kong flavor all its own. We've been meeting another missionary couple, the Sackleys, to go walking/jogging in the mornings before we head to the office. We're also joined by 81-year old Sister Linford, who is just as fit and energetic as any of the rest of us! We accomplish not only exercise, but we're becoming familiar with our neighborhood, as well.
