Our little piece of the expat bubble!

We haven't moved in yet, but I am super stoked about our new apartment!!! We gave in and decided on Kemang. It was just too easy. There's a grocery store a few hundred yards away, a really awesome gym, and more fun bars and restaurants than we could ask for. The best part is that because it's just a touch further away form the Central Business District, you can actually walk outside!

It's in a new development called Kemang Village, which, when it's complete in a few years is going to look like a crazy new age resort. Check it out: http://www.kemangvillage.com/

We're just getting the contract through our local legal and finance departments but we should be moved in by next weekend. Hooray! Here are some photos:

Here’s the master. Check out the bathroom – it has a ceiling shower and this crazy awesome ginormous tub!

Guest bedroom and bathroom!

Kitchen, with wok and rice cooker. How did they know!!!???

This is a mini study area right when you walk in. I love the built in bookshelves. Looks like a great place for wedding photos! :D

Our long living/dining room. I love the space - it's very bright and open and CLEAN! You can't tell, but the living room furniture has some West Elm-like elements to it.

An interesting part of every apartment or house is maids quarters. There is a small room off of the kitchen that boasts enough space for a little bed and there is also a maids bathroom, which is just small room with one of those Asian hole in-the-floor toilets and a hand held shower nozzle. Everyone who is wealthy enough to live in a nice place has at least 1 servant/employee because the labor is so incredibly inexpensive, which has to do with the huge gap between wealth and poor and after having spent a weekend at the mall I've realized that people have hired help for EVERYTHING here. Yes, even trips to the mall - there will be an entire mall post so stay tuned for that.

Anyway, now that you've seen how pretty your guest bedroom is, I bet you can't wait to visit!!! We'll be ready for you in a week!
