    Karen where are you living now? I remember you asked about Sai Kung a few months ago.

    Yes we were considering Sai Kung, and would love to live there but it just isn't doable for my hubby. Well... it is, but he is one of these guys that snoozes & snoozes after the alarm then makes a mad rush in shower etc.. to get to work LOL I think if we moved to Sai Kung, he'd forever be late to work. There is also the issue of possible traffic delays from there on a morning. We are living in Tai Wai at the moment. We have lived around this area for the last 4 years, but it's getting ridiculously expensive for apartments here.

    What about Clearwater Bay? In and around Mang Kung Uk, you can probably get a floor of a village house for 13k, maybe a little more.

    I've mentioned that to the hubby :0) I don't think I've been to Clearwater Bay. Is that where you live? If so, what is it like?

    I live much further down into Clearwater Bay - near the country park - and it's lovely. Honestly, it's the only way we survive out here in HK (we're from Durham, so HK is another planet to us).

    From Mang Kung Uk down to where we live, there's nothing - purely residential - and even with the weekend country park and beach dwellers, it is very serene and quiet. I don't know if you have kids, but it's very expatty and there are lots of western families with kids around, so it's quite sociable too.

    Commuting is easy but if you live deep in the villages, you'll need a car. There's never any traffic - even at Silverstrand, at rush hour, you're never waiting more than 30 seconds tops.

    If you fancy a look out around this area, I can recommend some good property agents, and could probably show you around a few places myself.

    Noticed guns chipped in: me and guns live probably 10 miles away from each other - cwb is a big place - so there's a lot of geography involved when looking at cwb. His closest MTR I guess is Choi Hung (on the green line) and mine is Hang Hau (on the purple line). Hang Hau to Wanchai is about 30 minutes commute.

    Ive just been on the phone to my hubby, and told him about Clearwater Bay. He's going to have a look tonight on Google Earth . I think we will probably take a trip there to have a look, so yes, I would appreciate some recommendations. It is really down to James, because he's the one doing the travelling, and he's not one for getting up on a morning a minute before he has to LOL (He's from Darlington by the way).

    My son is back in the UK. He's 25 this year, (I'm an old gal ) but I do miss the Western side of socialising. We do have Western friends here in Tai Wai, but only see them when we go to the Dai pai dongs. Most of the time I talk to my dog for company LOL I keep saying I will learn Cantonese, but shamefully, I've only learned the bare minimum (How to direct the Taxi home lol)
