Hi, I've been back to HK for quite sometimes now, my kids were both born in HK and able to get British citizenship. I miss UK, haven't been back for 5 years!!
I think kindergarten is ok, what gets me is Primary all the homeworks... ! @_@

We only just came back 6 months ago...miss London
why do you miss London? Would fellow JM move back if you have a choice?
we are not sure if we are moving to Asia in the future. The working hours sound very long but tax is lower. We don't have kids yet. Childcare would be much cheaper in Hong Kong.
Both my and my husband are working as architects,I am expecting my 2nd baby in one month time.then we will bring both babies back to London to enjoy the summer
Hi. all mamas, i backed to hk since 2 years ago. I have a boy he is 6 and study in an international junior school. He enjoy in school very much but always said hk people are not polite enough and want to move back to uk.
Hi I am new in here. I have been relocated back to HK since 2009 after 15 years living in the UK. i have only one boy who is five and studying local kindergarten. My husband is also from HK so he insists the boy should go to the local school rather than international school. I miss the life in London but unfortunately family reason, my hushand wants to spend more time with family in here. Schooling in HK is crazy and some of the parents surprise me a lot by their behaviour such as showing off how many ECA their child is attending, how many awards, certificates they got in order to apply P1. Gosh... I cannot believe they are so competitive.

If you are British citizen, isn't it your baby also British citizen no matter where he/she was born UKBA always change the rule so it's confusing. How about your hubby, is he British citizen
I came back to HK 5 years ago and delivered a baby on 13/8/2012 in HK, we may want to move to UK, I am British citizen but because baby was born in HK so cannot obtain British citizenship! So down!!!!
We are moving back to HK after living here for 16 years. I have a son who is nearly 3 and am currently pregnant with my no.2.
We will move in with my parents for the time being (I'm lucky that my parent's house have 2 spare rooms) and we'll see from there.
I'm kinda split between looking forward to a new life in HK and wanting to stay here in London. The main reason we're moving is that my hubby is really not doing well here (he's in architecture) so we're hoping he can have a better career in HK.
I'm also worried that my son will struggle in the local kindergarten system. He's been going to a Montessori Nursery since he's two and he only knows a handful of letters and numbers and certainly no Chinese characters!
How are your children coping with the changes? I've asked my son many times whether he wants to move to HK and he keeps telling me no!
