Rent our Lamma Flat
By J Aaron Farr on Monday, June 15, 2009
Our extended holiday away from Hong Kong allows us to offer some lucky person or two the chance to rent our flat on Lamma Island. The apartment will be available for up to 6 months starting in July at HK$7,000 per month and comes fully furnished.

She shrieks in fear every time one approaches her, even if it’s a miniature yapping one. I decided it was time for a change.
