    Question about living in Bel-Air

    Hi,

    I'm moving to Bel-Air in the future.
    Here is my questions.

    My son is going to school in Central, does anyone know how early he needs to wake up for school bus pick-up? How long is the bus ride?
    School bus fee?

    Where do people go grocery shopping beside the ParkNshop close to the bus terminal? I'm not hiring a maid, is there anywhere easier to go to without a maid's help? Is there any convenience stores around or inside Bel-Air? Are they building a nicer supermarket around the area within a walking distance?

    Thank you for your time and help.

    Mai,

    which school will your son be going to? do they have a bus service? best to call the company and find out what time they pickup from Bel-air.

    the ParknShop in Baguio Villas has better selection of fresh produce.
    also, there is a free bus serive from cybeport parknshop to chi fu estate. there's a wet market and parknshop there.

    Hi Rani,

    My son is either going to Montessori or ESF.

    How do I get to Baguio Villas? Is the free bus serive right in front of parknshop or in the bus terminal? Can I carry the stroller on?

    I'm currently living in DB. The bus service here is very good.

    Our son goes to ESF kindy in Sheung Wan. The pick up is at 7:30 in Baguio. I would think the bus would pick up from Bel-air first. I don't think there are any kids from Bel-air on the bus at the moment.

    You can walk to Baguio from Bel-air. There is a flight of steps by the traffic light ( by Wise Kids) that leads up to Baguio. There is door code, but its quite busy so someone will let you in.

    Question

    Rani,
    Could you please give me some info on ESF kindy in Sheung Wan? Any website or phone where I could call? Do they go thru an interview process there too? How does it work? My son has had a lot of difficulties going thru this type of stuff. He has a little speech delay (he is bilingual) and he doesn’t do well with strangers... I am worry that he is going to freak out if he sees a lot of people asking things and may do badly...
    Any information on Victoria?
    Thanks,
