BTW, I took my course because I wanted to be officemates with my Dad pero ayaw niya LOL

i think it is a cultural thing with the chinese.
their houses are close to their places of work.
it saves rental, pamasahe, and time. it also negates the need to hire security.

in binondo, in singapore chinatown, in old hongkong and other chinatowns the world over,
the store is on the ground floor, and the residence is in the upper floor.

i remember an old story from a real estate person.
his current client is a successful businessman, on a buying spree.
all their lives kasi, their definition of home was the second floor of their business address.

What I hate the most is yun walang pinagawang dedicated laundry area.

today's young generation,
some see no need for a dirty kitchen,
because some of them can't even cook.
heh heh.

someone i know,
he has no dirty kitchen.
but he has a well-appointed work shop.

Same with us. No need for a dirty kitchen if you can cook inside. Doon sa labas kapag grill ng barbeque or something else.

I can relate except for the 1st phrase & we cook.[emoji4]The lone kitchen has a no-glamour worktop w/ a deep integral sink spec'd for daily abuse w/o much need for aftercare....sadly, it's literally dirty.[emoji51]

I dont have a utility kitchen either. Just another place to clean and maintain.

Use the main kitchen and you are forced to keep it clean and looking new. Our kasambahay use it as well properly.

Totally agree. Build them to handle 'help' abuse. Been a while to have to worry about such tho...yankee-living 'help'-less here.
