Hong Kong has good schools, good medical care and a safe environment in which to bring up your children.
But a potential move to Hong Kong and the probability of downsizing to a small apartment instead of a large house with a secure yard for the children to play may causes many parents concern.
It is true. Hong Kong is a small place. Apartments are much smaller and most families do not have their own private yard. However, many apartment buildings have their own playgrounds and living in a large building has the advantage of an 'on-site' selection of friends to play with.
Children in Hong Kong can usually participate in their favourite sports and activities and in addition take up some new ones. cityQuicker has comprehensive listings of sports and activities that are available.
Teenagers particularly enjoy their time in Hong Kong. The safe environment and excellent public transport affords them a little bit more freedom then they may have been used to in their home country.
Spending time in an Asian country may also be an advantage when appying for universities in the U.K. and U.S.
