I hope someone can help me. My company is going to send me to HK for a 2-3 yr tour. They have strongly suggested Kowloon Tong area. Can anyone tell me anything about it.
I will be bringing my wife (she will not work) and our 3 yr old son. Is there stuff to keep them busy? Are there other stay at home mom's in this area? Is this a good or just average area for mom and kiddie to get out and shop or play?
Also, how is the housing in this area? Old and run down or generally kept up? Is it mostly high rises / low rises / mix?
Compared to Discovery Bay, is it better or worse and why? DB was our original first choice because we thought we could experience HK but still draw back into western type world if we wanted. But we are starting to wonder about the transportation issues, logistics for grocery shopping, etc. and we're starting to think that maybe we need to look at a second option. Since the company is steering towards Kowloon Tong we want to give it an honest look.
I only want opinions so don't be bashful. HK island is out of question so I'm not even going to look at Pok Fu Lam even though I understand it is also a good family location. Thanks for all your help. See ya soon.
