What is better to bring from the UK rather than buy in HK? And where to live of course?!

I'm pretty sure you can find some biggish shoes and clothes over here too, unless what you mean is you have size 19 feet and a 50 inch waist.

Shoes start to get tricky to find at about UK size 11; the choice of trousers is limited for waist 40 and above and almost non-existent for 44 and above.

That's not true. He was replying directly to a post you made about buses!

I guess some guys aren't aware of the appendage correlation theory as they proudly announce their shoe size.

Actually I'm a woman But I guess this means I can wear men's clothes and shoes if I'm stuck lol.

I'm 5ft 9 and take a UK size 7.5-8 so I'm assuming I'm in trouble when it comes to shoes and any clothes with arms or legs.

living above the elements shopping centre at kowloon station could be the idea place, 1 stop from hongkong station, not really crowded, but can be pricey.

This is interesting as I had drinks last night with a couple who have just moved to France after living in China for 6 years. They recommended that I live Kowloon side as they found the pollution wasn't as bad there compared to HK Island. Will definitely look into Elements, thank you!

Hmmm, I'd say bring your shoes/boots then. There is Marks and Spencer but I'm not sure I've seen larger than size 7 (40). But of course you can also get stuff made, including shoes, relatively inexpensive.

Ah ha...just been checking and I see that The Outnet deliver to HK (so that's the shoe habit taken care of, hurray!) and so do Jaeger (work clothes sorted)...so at least that will keep me going until I work out where I should be buying in HK....or have my toes amputated to make my feet smaller. ;-)
