Hello,
I'm going to try to make this as short as possible so please bare with me
We (me, hubby and a 2 yr old) moving to HK from US in 3 wks. I'm trying to come up with things that I want to bring (or better to bring) from US and thought I should ask fellow moms here...
1. What are the must items I should bring from US? any food that has long shelf life like oatmeal or dry pasta (my hubby thinks I'm going little too crazy)? how about OTC meds for kids? Tampons?
2. We are planning to bring some kitchen appliances with us and use a transformer... is it worthy to bring them? How practical is it to use a transformer everyday?
3. We have a few places to live in mind. My husband already moved there in July and has looked at a few places... Happy Valley (Winfield and Leighton Hill), Jardine's Lookout (Signature), Pokfulam (Bel-Air), and Repulse Bay. Repulse bay will be most likely out of question as it will be too much commute to my hubby's work (ICC in Kowloon). Could any moms who live in these areas share what they like and dislike?
I'm interested in Happy Valley but concerned that it's too close to the most polluted area on the island. Pokfulam also sounds good in terms of less pollution from exhaust, but wonder I might feel little too removed. I lived in a big city in my entire life so I'm very used to having everything near by.
Ok. That's it for now. Thanks for reading and any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
