Welcome to Hong Kong: Survive, Thrive, (and Love) the Expat Life! (Volume 3: Raising a Family)
HK$200.00
"Twelve years ago, my husband and I swapped London for the vibrant chaos of Hong Kong. We thought we were ready for adventure. Then we had a baby, and suddenly the adventure got real.
This book completes the Welcome to Hong Kong series. While Volume 1: Practical Living helped you settle into daily life, from finding an apartment to mastering public transport and surviving typhoon season, and Volume 2: Cultural Insights guided you through festivals, customs, and the beautiful (and sometimes bewildering) mix of East and West, this volume focuses on the most important journey of all: raising a family here.
From navigating pregnancy and delivery in a brand-new city, to surviving the legendary “confinement month,” wrestling with the ultra-competitive school system, and trying to find the right balance for our family, raising a child in Hong Kong has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of our lives.
Packed with real talk and personal stories, including my own confinement nanny drama and the adventures of raising my son here, this book is your friendly companion through every stage of family life in Hong Kong. You’ll find everything you need to know about conception to delivery (public vs private care), how to choose the right school, cross-cultural parenting dilemmas, daily logistics with kids, and how to create your own balanced family life in this high-pressure city.
You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to do it with love, patience, and a little bit of humour!
Whether you’re expecting your first child, already juggling toddlers, or planning your next chapter as a family, this book will help you navigate the beautiful madness of raising kids in Hong Kong.
Welcome to the family edition of the adventure."
