Hi Winnie, it depends a fair amount on where you will be living and also if you will be working at all. Over on HK island, there are lots of baby groups, coffee mornings, creches, nurseries, play centres and so on. Out in the new territories, there are also these kinds of things, but the English speaking ones tend to be grouped in popular expat locations such as Sai Kung or Clearwater bay so if you are not living in these places (as indeed we are not), you may have to travel to get to them. HK is very small though so it really does not take too long to get from one place to another, and it is easy to get about on public transport, and driving is generally ok (apart from central which is a rabbit warren and very busy with lots of traffic). In terms of getting around, HK has great public transport and taxis are very reasonable. There are however lots of escalators and steps (especially in central) so it does make getting around with a buggy quite a headache. In terms of helpers, the vast majority of people do have a live in helper who would do the shopping, cooking, cleaning and so on, as well as child care/babysitting if you asked them to. this would negate the need to go to the supermarket with baby, which could be a bit of a stressful experince as many places do not have trolleys with baby seats in so you would have to have baby in a sling or a buggy and carry the basket. Park and shop deliver however which is how we get round the issue. We do not have a helper and have 3 DS, DT aged 4 and a DS aged 2 1/2 and we get by fine without the extra help, although we are in a significant minority in choosing not to have one. Here are a few websites which I found/find useful. one for ideas of what to do with kids in HK and a good HK expat site with lots of information and another good HK expat site. Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll try and help out if I can. Good luck with the move.
