I just posted this advert in the personals section but thought I'd start a thread here too to improve the odds of getting a hit.
We'll be moving from Sweden to HK in May (I'm Aussie/29/full time mum, former teacher and PR - he's Danish/33/pilot starting in Cathay) with our little boy born in April 2007. We're not sure where we'll be living yet but it'll most likely be on Lantau, Goldcoast or even somewhere where we can have a house and space rather than a tiny appartment!
I'd love to hear from anyone in a similar boat who would like to get together with the little ones to socialize.
I'm super social and currently have something or another on about 5 days a week. I love to entertain/cook, be outdoors, see the sights, get some light exersize (a good hike or some social tennis) as well as 'coffee and shopping' related activities (!) and I'm always keen to try something new.
I'd love to start making some contacts now and get to know a few people by e-mail/skype before we arrive so we can have a more gentle landing.
If you feel like we could be good for each other, please do drop me a line.
Cheers,
Adèle

Hi
I have lived in HK for almost 8 years with a one year gap last year, we came back as we missed it so much. I have a 3 year old boy and a 7 month old girl, I live in Clearwater Bay, am happy to get together for playgroups with my daughter as we have only been back 6 months and I hardly know anyone with a child of similar age. My little boy has lots of friends.
Cheers

Hello adele78 and all the other ladies, I have just arrived in HK from London (where I lived for 12.5 yrs.) under a week ago and am eager to meet other mums and their babies, as well. I am Danish, married to an Englishman and we have a 9.5 month/38 wk old daughter. Feel free to email me if you want to meet up: ayan_marianne@hotmail.com We're currently house/flat hunting (staying in Soho) so I don't know where we'll be living yet, but I'm happy to meet up anywhere :)
Please support our advertisers:
Ahhh, my man will be happy to have you around! We'll be hunting down as many danish speakers as possible to speak to our son! We hope that when we visit Denmark in the future he can talk to Farfar Gert and Farbror Morten in their native tongue!
Our son is about the same age as your daughter (b. April 20th) and with one english speaking parent and one Danish speaking parent they're coming from a very similar linguistic background. I'll mail you...keep an eye out in your inbox!!

Hi Adèle, Brilliant, I'll look out for your email! I'm going to post a thread for Danish speaking baby groups today; even if you're not fluent in Danish, you should definitely join us so the babies can learn/become familiar with Danish. We're also going to attend the Danish Church at the end of the month, I emailed the 'pastor'/priest a few months ago and he mentioned it's a good place to meet other Danish families with young children&babies. Take care!

HI Adele,
I responded a few weeks ago but just wanted to let you know we have moved to Tung Chung in case you end up living here. My son,3 will start afternoon school but my daughter,1 and I are still looking for friends. Send me a pm when you get here.
Please support our advertisers:
Oops, did I not e-mail you? I thought I did...I must have ½ written it and not sent it! I'll double check.
Mandy (kiwi girlz in this thead) also has 2 kids your age and lives in TC so we'll be dominating the sidewalks there in no time! We'll come to HK for 10 days from the 29th of April and then come back to Sweden to finalize the packing before moving to HK for good in mid June.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi eco-mama, we've actually just signed a lease in DB and are looking forward to moving in on the 1st of July. Perhaps we can get together with our boys? Logan's now 13 months old so they'd probably be a pretty good match for each other.

I've sent you an email! I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi there Adele I have just put my little one to sleep, gosh it was hard work. He was really good with going to bed and falling asleep by himself but recently he has been refusing to go to sleep, and cries whenever I put him down in bed.
Anyway, I have just got your mail and will reply to the email.
Are you in HKG already? Sorry about the weather but due to Al Nina effect appparently there are going to be a lot more typhoons and rains this summer.
Eco-mama
