Hi, my husband is considering a move to Hong Kong. We have two daughters one currently in Yr 8 and one about to start in Yr 7 in September. Could you let me know anything about the following points:
British curriculum schools with good exam results in an holistic, nurturing environment, not a hot-house
Areas to live which are not high-rise, I can't manage lifts(!)
Husband will be working near Macau for some of the week, so access to there needs to be easy from home
Property prices for, let's say, a three/four bedroom place, with maids accommodation
How much for a maid each month, what is the best way to find one
We are keen sailors and riders, are these sports easy to access? What price would you expect to pay for riding lessons, and how much to join a sailing club
Pets - two dogs, two cats - is it true they have to go into quarantine, and is it true only one pet per working visa?
Dental and medical costs - insurance cover, what sort of package
Transportation - is a car necessary? Are they expensive to buy and run?
What about living outside Macau? Are there are any expat communities based here?
Many thanks in advance for any info you may be able to give me.
