可以分享下讀書的情况嗎? 我所有的家人都在Houston, 我正考慮移居, 9歲及11歲的小朋友..入學情况如何?

...

There isn't much issue of enrolling kids into school once you've decided which school zone you want to live. The best time will be settling down duringlate winter or early spring, so you have enough time to register with the school. Some well desired schools require a few month of utility bills as a proof of address.
If you are considering Sugar Land, that means the schools normally have a higher ratio of Asian and Indian student body, which also means the academic performance is more competitive. Generally speaking, lifestyle in Houston is laid back and relaxing. Personally I love Houston, despite the 8 month long of heat a year.
I'm sure you and your family will be fine since your family are in Houston. They will guide you along the way.

Houston is not bad. I lived there for many years. I am sure that your family can tell you more.
Have you applied for immigration?

That's if you live close to China Town, otherwise you will have to get a ride to the Senior Center yourself. My husband's grandmom always have senior activities to go, around 3 or 4 times a week. She's busier than us.

唔係喎，我契媽契爺住Houston，佢地日日有車去接佢地去老人中心，有早餐午餐供應，有時食唔晒打包返去俾D孫食。好似仲會安排老人去買嘢，定時有車去超市或商場，到時間就集合送返去老人中心，再有車送番屋企。以前佢地都好恨返香港返大陸，而家反而話喺呢度養老算啦，反正返到去都冇地方住，而且習慣咗再返香港覺得好多人好逼。

花旗太太生活在花旗國，留意時差，你問我未必即時答到。

My parents refuse to retire in Houston, so they are in HK, which I think probably be more suitable for them. Relatives and friends, walking distance to grab a newspaper and have any meals, restaurants and convenience stores in every corner, no stairs but elevators in the building.
Like you said, having to drive just to get a bread is a hassle for old ppl, and that's IF they know how to drive.

So true for retiring in HK...at least you don't have to drive to buy "bread" for breakfast. My mom has also thought about relocating back to HK for retirement. The only problem is housing.
Houston is a bit too hot and too humid. Overall, it is ok.

香港係好, 但老公想老時有個花園種植物,過另一种生活,所以才考慮到美國退休而已,況且佢家人都係美國,所以才有此打算

Interesting enough that we did not have hurricane last year. I'm more worry about flash flooding in certain areas and streets after heavy rain. Besides that, I really enjoy living in Houston.
However as for retirement, I think Hong Kong is the best place to be retired.

Great public transportation, well govt senior care, free and easy access to healthcare, low cost of helper (if needed).

I live in sugar land. Tornados are very rare. I think I have heard of a couple of more cases further south. Of course, I would worry more about flooding/hurricanes in Houston.

I don\'t think Houston is that good for retirement anyway given the heat and humidity.

有架，我住得耐，試過有龍捲風係我屋1/2 mile 經過。個Ice skating rink 冇咗個roof.

...

Oh yeah, now I remember that. Was it in Sugarland? Or Pearland? This is an exceptional case which only happens once in a very long while in greater Houston area.
From my personal experience, I have been living in West Houston for over 15 years, have never came across with a tornado whatsoever. I would worry more about the heavy rain storm than tornadoes.

有龍捲風點解仲要係嗰到住呢?

如你所講﹐那就好多地方都唔住得人。美西有地震﹐美東有雪﹐中部有龍捲風。
