6 months

A new move, means a new blog.

We've lived in HK for 6 months! I am amazed that it's gone that quickly for it feels like yesterday that we were packing up our flat in London with a 5 month year old in tow. It feels like yesterday that I was trying to figure out what pediatrician to go to and in what area to live in - Central or on the southside. We've sacrificed convenience for healthier living. So here's out list of things we miss and things we like about living on the Southside.

Things we miss about living in a city center:
1. Convenience - no taxis, just walking outside to grab a coffee or to do a bit of shopping
2. Markets - having access to a wide variety of markets - organic, one with more western products vs. local etc...
3. Mass transit - the buses and subways
4. Easy commute to work vs. a 20 minute taxi ride in

Things we like about the southside:
1. Cleaner air
2. Sea view
3. The friends we have made
4. The parks
