Hi Anne-Maree, yep ok i know causeway bay but only Sogo. How far is Victoria Park from Sogo? Id love to check it out My son is not walking yet so im still gonna need the stroller and it is a pain going around HK in MTR with stroller, too many escalators. Perhaps we can meet at Sogo and walk there together?

Hi there

I've also just moved to Hong Kong with my two boys aged 3 and 1 and am keen to meet other mums. We live in Happy Valley and could easily get to Victoria Park. LEt me know if anything is planned soon or if you would like me to arrange something and we can hopefully start up something regular.

Hi! My name is Carla and just moved here from London (2 days ago!). My son is 7 months old and we are currently staying in Parkview. Would love to meet up at Sogo as have been wanting to go. When is next meetup?

Hi Mawgan and Carla, welcome to HK! Hope you are have nicely settled in and is getting used to HK.

It would be awesome to meet and i would like to find out which part of HK you guys are staying in? I am in the East in Sai Wan Ho. Understand Mawgan you are in Happy Valley. Carla, where is Parkview? There is a regular playgroup set up by one of the mummies for those who live in Tai Koo area which is in the east as well. If you guys would like to join just send me your email addresses and i will forward it on to them. I think they meet every Friday.

The weather has been so bad lately and i have not managed to visit Victoria Park. Lets wait till the weather gets better before we organise a day out there shall we?

I am still travelling around with my stroller and not many malls in HK are stroller friendly ie have lifts that take us around instead of escalators which is very daunting. IM terrified of escalators hence Sogo is easy access from MTR with lifts that take us around plus Landmark in Central or Prince Building in Central as well. Cityplaza in Tai Koo is also baby friendly with a nice cafe for coffee Cafe Habitu and is alot more spacious as well compared to cafes in central area.

If you guys would like to explore to the east if convenient, perhaps we can arrange a meet next week for afternoon tea, that way most of our babies have had their nap.

Cheers and hear from u guys

Hi Katherine

Thanks so much for replying! That would be lovely! Parkview is on Tai Tam reservoir road which is in the Repulse Bay area but happy to travel to meet up as this is only a temporary address for us until we find somewhere to settle so am keen to explore other areas!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Carla
