In town this week

[ScoobyDoes]

My wife, from Hong Kong, arrives in town tonight for a week as we look for a place to live....... i am currently in temporary accomodation.

Is there a "gathering" this week where she can learn more of the place from a HK perspective? I already know the place from a gwai lo perspective but that's so different.

Ho well, if u scroll down previous back and forth messages u may find that we same from Hong Kong but the perspective about this place could be quite different: somebody likes it somebody doesn't, somebody has settled down while somebody is still "wait-and-see"...so it really depends on how ur wife would think...probably she should stay for a long-enough-period to find it out. 'cause if just for vacation, things would be much easier.

BTW, am curious about what u have learn from "gwai-lo's point of view", mind telling us?

Yes, thanks, that was my point, finding out those differences.

For me it's different, i moved from the UK to HK in '94 then to KL in '02 and down to here a few weeks ago so of course i can see all the plus and minus points quite easily.

Wow moving guy...so this time how long for SG huh? Perspective about this country is kind of big issue that involves living environment, life style, welfare, medical, food & entertainment,...etc, maybe u could just specify ur queries?Which one u concern the most at the moment?
