Meeting up!

Hi Rachael

Afternoon tea on Sunday sounds great...I'd already seen The Press Room - looks a bit like a Melbourne hang out!!.

I've come down with a bit of a cold (I hear this is pretty normal when you first arrive in HK - need to build up my immunity somehow) so may or may not make it. But hopefully will be feeling better by 4pm Sunday!

Thanks for antenatal class info.

Helen

Hi Helen,

It would be great to meet you on Sunday. There's a group of about 4-6 of us generally. If you can't make it, I'd love to meet for a coffee pretty much anytime that suits. I'm no longer working, so pretty flexible weekdays/weekends.

Cheers,

Rachael

Cool...will try to make tomorrow and if not, yes, would love to get together one afternoon- I'm also work-less and would very much welcome a break from apartment hunting!

Antenatal exercise classes at Tsan Yuk

Hi Helen,

Tsan Yuk holds English antenatal exercise classes every 3 months or so and they've just started their first session last Wednesday.... I don't think you need to do them all starting from session 1 so you might be able to join half way through and re-do the missed sessions at a later date? You might like to check that out. It's just the next course might finish a bit close to your due date.

The sessions cost HKD100 each and the one I went to last week had max 10 or so ladies there. It's on Wednesday afternoons 2.30-5pm

(I'm in the same due date club as Smiles and Kharel!)

Thanks for the tip...I'll give Tsan Yuk a call this morning to find out if I can come along on Wednesday...appreciate the heads up on this.

Cheers

Re. Kowloon.

My wife had our son at kwang wah in yau ma tei and I have to say I was massively impressed by the facilities and the service. the post delivery ward was very good - six beds to a room but only maximum three occupants in wife's room while she was there and midwifes were great. we had a look at queen elizabeth but was not so impressed with service.

only downside is, as with all HK hospitals, the regulations on husband's attendance. I was only allowed in to delivery some 30 minutes before (luckily my wife had very short labour) and was nudged out ten minutes after. was allowed back in once she had been tidied up by the midwifes.

oh, and the bill: 350 HK$ for delivery and 3 nights in the ward
