US bb plans to travel to HK

Hi everybody

Please pardon me of posting here…. I have not joined in your forums but have some questions that u maybe able to help me. I don’t use Chinese input so I type in English, however, I 100% understand Cantonese.

Let me introduce myself first: My bb is a 0509 girl and the 3 of us live in Los Angeles. We plan to have a vacation back to HK near end of Nov. We have not been back to HK for almost two years, and this time with bb together, really have a lot of uncertainty that want to ask u all !

1. Weather in HK: what's the weather now? dry? chilly?

2. Health: any good paediatrians (just in case for bb) and family doc (just in case for me

) in Wanchai, Jordan and 粉嶺 that u know of?

3. Where to get cheaper Pampers? Regular pharmacy or Watsons etc?

4. Any "Nestle Good Start" formula sold in HK?

5. Anybody uses carseat while taking taxi? Will the taxi driver refuse to give u a ride? How polite/ inpolite are they now? (In my memory, their services have always been not very good)

6. Do u know how to get from 粉嶺 to Jordan? 粉嶺 to Wanchai?

7. Anybody familiar with 牽晴間? We will live in a friend's apt there. Where to get (good) food (for bf, lunch and dinner, because I will not cook

) and good supermarket?

8. Anybody uses a portable highchair like this while dinning out?

And what is usually the condition of the restaurant highchairs? I am thinking whether I should bring this portable highchair back to HK?

9. How about stroller? Will restaurants allow u to push it in?

10. Anybody brought your bb to Ocean Park? Any tips?

11. Are the changing stations in public restroom OK? (In my memory, public restrooms are dirty..........

) In which malls can u find good ones?

12. Finally, where to buy good and cheap bb things (eg. clothings, toys, Chinese books....) I expect lots of shopping

13. Any good wireless cable connection that does not need a contract (we will be using just for example 2 weeks)? How much is that? Does public library have connection? How safe is that?

14. Any good pay-as-you-dial mobile phone card?

15. Where to get a nice baby hair cut?

16. Which studio for baby portrait?

Thank u thank u thank u!

1. Weather in HK: what's the weather now? dry? chilly?

>>> it is dry and chilly. correct!! But dunno when you come, it really depends.

2. Health: any good paediatrians (just in case for bb) and family doc (just in case for me

) in Wanchai, Jordan and 粉嶺 that u know of?

>>> sorry.. i am not from those area...

3. Where to get cheaper Pampers? Regular pharmacy or Watsons etc?

>>> Is Pampers your brand? or any brand that is cheap? If latter one, you can try Japan diapers from shop of parallel shipment (水貨店). Nepia is good and reasonable. If you prefer very cheap one with acceptable quality, you can buy some low rank diapers from Wellcome Supermarket.

4. Any "Nestle Good Start" formula sold in HK?

>>>> I think so, though it is not the top tier brand here...

5. Anybody uses carseat while taking taxi?

>>>> Yes, me, once upon the time..... that really means, seldom.

Will the taxi driver refuse to give u a ride?

>>>> you mean if without carseat? not at all.

How polite/ inpolite are they now? (In my memory, their services have always been not very good)

>>>> nowadays, they beg for customers. don't worry.

6. Do u know how to get from 粉嶺 to Jordan? 粉嶺 to Wanchai?

>>>> KCR->MTR

7. Anybody familiar with 牽晴間? We will live in a friend's apt there. Where to get (good) food (for bf, lunch and dinner, because I will not cook

) and good supermarket?

>>>> good food everywhere. But you have to walk a bit under the sun if you want to go to KCR station

8. Anybody uses a portable highchair like this while dinning out?

>>>>>Yes, me.

And what is usually the condition of the restaurant highchairs?

>>>>> not good condition. you bring your own one. this is the best.

I am thinking whether I should bring this portable highchair back to HK?

>>>>> it is ok. but you can buy in HK too. not expensive. your concern may be, how to move back when you finish your holiday.

9. How about stroller? Will restaurants allow u to push it in?

>>>> it depends if the restaurants house that or not.

10. Anybody brought your bb to Ocean Park? Any tips?

>>>> every one. bring the stroller. life is easy there, except too many people.

11. Are the changing stations in public restroom OK? (In my memory, public restrooms are dirty..........

) In which malls can u find good ones?

>>>> i am afraid, no.

12. Finally, where to buy good and cheap bb things (eg. clothings, toys, Chinese books....) I expect lots of shopping

>>>> every where. don't worry. every one knows that bb business is the best in hong kong.

13. Any good wireless cable connection that does not need a contract (we will be using just for example 2 weeks)?

>>>> wireless? mobile phone? i think your friend has got the internet so don't worry about it.

How much is that? Does public library have connection? How safe is that?

>>>> yes

14. Any good pay-as-you-dial mobile phone card?

>>>> yes, from 7-11

15. Where to get a nice baby hair cut?

>>>> one in causeway. HK$370 a head. actually, i think it is too luxurious

16. Which studio for baby portrait?

>>>> you can click the advertisment in this website. it gives you a lot of choice.
