hi ekari,Hello there, just wanna ask if eating out is safe in HK? I'll be vacationing there and I am a little worried about the food condition there as I read some bad food reviews and stuff like that.
Let me know if you need a contact for a pd. As long as you, husband and children are Sporean citizens, it should be easier to get into SIS but do call the sch and check first. Yes, the gp fees might be sightly higher. It ranges between HK240 to $360, rarely goes above HK600 unless you're seeing a specialist. I brought my son to the 24 hr outpatient clinic at Sanatorium Hospital in Happy Valley (similar to Gleneagles or Mount A) on Sunday night, it costs us less than HK500.Hi jessmummy,
thanks a lot for the info. oh no, heard S'pore intl school hard to get in...
also heard that a gp consultation cost a mummy $100plus recently for common flu!
if $200-300 like u shared is much lower phew...
glad to hear jab package is around $5k which is similar to what we are paying here depending on what's in e package and if it is by pd.
Thanks for the info! appreciate it!
