Hi everyone,
We are a British family, I'm a single mum with two children aged 11 and 12 and we are moving to Hong Kong at the end of this month. I will be working in a school in Tseung Kwan O. My budget for housing is around 20k (25K maximum). I really like the look of Sai Kung - it looks vibrant, fun, lots of opportunities to make friends, nice restaurants etc. However, it will be about 1 hour commute to work and back (my children will also go to the same school I am going to be working in).
Can anyone offer us any advice on where we should consider living? Is the commute going to become tiresome or is it OK? Are there any suitable places nearer?
How long does it take usually to find a suitable place to live once you arrive? Do most people stay in hotels initially or Airbnb?
Thanks
