QotD: My Dream Address
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Why?
Submitted by abcdefg81.
Right now eiron and I are living in the city that I want to live in, namely New York City. Having born and grew up in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong, I've always preferred living in a big city. ('Preferred is an understatement, I think)
And in the course of answering this question, I just realize I have lived in 3 out of the 4 major financial centres of the world: London, New York, and Hong Kong. Tokyo being the only city I haven't visited, let alone lived, I would definitely jump at any chance of spending a few years there. This is, of course, assuming that somehow I can afford to live there!
11 and 4
11 – prime number, and the whole number after 10 and before 12. But it is also the number of years eiron and I have been together. Bloody hell! That's a long time!
4 – even number, and unlucky in Chinese. It is also the number of years we have been married.
This week is anniversary week for eiron and I. Tonight we are going to Alfama for dinner. eiron even declared last night that she would be having not only a cocktail before dinner, but also a glass of port, and coffee afterward! We'll see about that.
