New Apartment: Virtual Tour

We just finished week 2 of our life in Singapore – another great week. We moved into our permanent apartment where we signed a 2-year lease – Parvis in Holland Village. This place is amazing. It’s basically a resort. Thank you, J&J!! We also pretty much have it to ourselves. There are about 250 units here and I was told we were the 7^th family to move in. So while Carly and I are enjoying having the pools to ourselves to go for our morning swims, I’m sure Avery is anxious to get some friends to play with. The sliding doors in our living room open up practically all the way so we’ve been taking advantage of the open air living – and we’re trying not to spoil ourselves with AC. We do go through a ton of water to stay hydrated, though. The humidity is unbelievable.

Here is a virtual tour:

We spent most of this week receiving furniture, buying more furniture and assembling furniture.  We did find time to get out to Holland Village. It has restaurants with every type of cuisine. We continued our experimenting with Singapore western food J.  We met up for some Mexican food with my friend from high school Pat, who moved out here a couple of months ago.

   



PSU on local TV...and they win!



Steelers, too!!



We finally got our cable and internet hook-up this week. The cable takes some getting used to, but it’s pretty intuitive once you learn what channels we did and did not sign up for. We also get free previews of certain HD channels every weekend. It’s HUGE because one of the channels called All Sports Network showed the Penn State and Steelers games this weekend. Somebody is looking out for me.

I mentioned in an earlier post that we went to Star Mall. I found the picture I took and wanted to post it. The architecture out here is amazing - very modern.
