I have 3 boys, twins aged 3 and a younger one aged 19 months, and have recently moved to HK, near Sha Tin. If there are any other MN's in HK who fancy a meet up, please feel free to get in touch.

Hi, I am 23 weeks pregnant with twins, living in Causeway Bay. Let me know how often you get over to the island! I work full time at the moment.

Hi there,

congratulations on the pregnancy! We are way out in the NT in Shatin, living on the campus of the chinese university of HK. We do sometimes get over to the island, but not very often as with 3 so young, it is quite a trek (takes about an hour and 20 mins plus). We could always meet up one evening on the island once the kids are all in bed if you fancy a chat and have any twin related questions you want answering (not that I am an authority, far from it, but I will do my best). How long have you been in HK for? Good timing with the pregnancy weather wise, you would not want to be full term with twins in 100% humidity and really high temperatures. I hope it is all going well, and am very impressed you are still working full time, I was shattered from the word go!

Thanks! I'd love to meet up, I will leave it to you to suggest a good time, as I'm a bit les tied down than you at the moment!

Could you try to contact me through my blog, rossmoore.net? I think if you make a comment there I'll get it.

We've been in HK about a year and a half now, some of the things we have really enjoyed to date will be off the agenda from April I guess, but that's ok. And yes, you're right about the weather, althought right now I am struggling to wear enough layers to keep warm. I'm sure it's even colder in the NT...

Hope we manage to get in touch soon (my name's Sarah Moore)

Hi Sarah (my name is claire by the way). I have tried posting on your blog (which I was very impressed with by the way, Hanoi looks great!)but I could not see my message anywhere after trying to post it, so just in case, I'll repeat it here. It basically said that my mum is coming out to hk for 3 weeks, arriving one week today (friday) so maybe after she leaves (10th feb) we can meet up one night. I am v happy to come to you, as I'm sure you don't want to be doing long journeys when pregnant with twins, but I can't get to HK island much before about 8.30 pm. I am happy to come to causeway bay, or we can meet in central, or anywhere that suits you. I do not really know any places in particualr to go out on the island yet, so am very happy to be guided by you if you have a favourite venue. Let me know which date suits you (although I cannot do wednesdays as I have choir practise). Speak soon, Claire ps you can always get me at [email protected]
