I'm in HK. Do you know where will your husband or you be working? Let me know the location and I might be able to recommend.Hi... I will be relocating to hk next month. Any recommendation of a child friendly estate to stay? I have a 6 month old baby. Thanks!
Thanks so much in advance. My hubby will be working in Admiralty. His colleagues recommended Tsing Yi and TKO. Personally, I like Olympic Station (used to worked there 3 years ago but not sure if that area has changed).
I live in Park Island. But it also depends on how old your child is. From 0 to 2, it might be fine. Beyond that, you do need to send him or her out of the island for classes. But I like Park Island. Lots of play area, both indoor and outdoor. Not as busy or crazy as the rest of HK. Rentals are reasonable too
There're ferries from Park Island to Central and Tsuen Wan. And shuttle buses to Tsingyi MTR station, Kwai Fong MTR Station and Tsuen Wan MTR station. Taxis are allowed into Park Island after 8pm. But that will change from next year. I think taxis will be allowed in for about 20 hrs a day. Can't remember the details. I like Park Island. We've been here for 5 years. Oh, you can't drive into PI too.

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!

hi ekari,
personally find the standard there quite alright. I even eat those yummy da pai dong when im there.
yummy food ! not exactly cheap though if u bench mark agst our hawker. but fresh stuff!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,
