Our apartment is much nicer than we had hoped. We live on the 38th floor and have sweeping views of the city from the floor to ceiling windows in our living/dining room, office and two bedrooms. We can see all the way to the ocean although the water hasn’t looked all that beautiful because it has been cloudy every day. The weirdest part of living so high up is looking down at the birds that fly by. Also, we’re right next to the lightning so that’s kind of scary.
The first night that we arrived, we kept discovering new rooms and bathrooms. In fact, we were calling each other’s names as we could not find one another. We thought we had opened every door but the next day discovered another bathroom and bedroom—the maid’s quarters. We have a total of 4.5 bathrooms so if you come to visit we can give you your own bathroom. How much you write us before you visit will determine whether we give you the guest bedroom or we stick you in the maid's quarters. The other nice thing about the apartment is that we have a walk-in closet. Since we’re in Asia, I wasn’t expecting there to be a closet. The pool area is nice with a swim-up bar (that’s not stocked or staffed, but can be for parties) and a warm tub. We also have a Jacuzzi tub in our bathroom but I don’t think it works.
School has been good. A bit bigger than we’re used to with approximately 200 teachers compared to the six we had at Bellwether. We’ve met lots of cool people and so forth. We will be updating our blog with pictures soon! Hope to hear from you soon!
Love Heather and Matt

Since you're up so high, I bet you got good shots at geese and ducks. Squirrel huntin' also must be good. Lucky. Sounds like there's everythin' you need! Have you found a place to rent beelers for the winter? You also might consider gettin' a tree stand for up there.
It sounds wonderful! How many words do you need to write in order to qualify for the room upgrade? Can't wait to Skype your new world!
Love,

Note that this bumps my comment tally up to two. No maids quarters for me. Ha. Seriously, sounds fabulous! I'm so glad you finally arrived and are enjoying the good kind of surprises. Are you going to post pictures?! Love, Erin
Hey guys! Glad you finally made it. How were the flights?
I can't believe you have 4.5 bathrooms. That is ridiculous! I can't wait for the pictures of this glass castle in the sky. Don't throw things at each other!
Erin, there is no way that I am going to end up in the servant's quarters. Quality as well as quantity will have to be factored in...
Hi Heather and Matt,
I'm so glad you guys finally made it to Manila. That was quite a story! Sounds like you have a great place to live! I'll have to boost my replies so I can be considered for one of the sweet rooms you guys have. Actually, not sure they do the 'gluten free' thing there. Good luck at school. P.S. the D-Y budget passed and it looks like I'll be getting my job back.
Heather and Matt and Friends-
In case you haven't been keeping up with the Jersey news you need to check this out.

Can you make a quick trip back to help me pick up princess chunk? Im not sure I can lift 44 pounds.
Sounds amazing! I can't wait to see it. Glad school is going well too.
Jessie - I check out Princess Chunk and have to say my little condo won't do, though she is really cute (in a hefty sort of way). I think Heather and Matt's new apartment would fit the bill, though. She could have the maid's quarters all to herself and her own bathtub/litter box.
Love,
