If you are a new arrival to HK, why deprive yourself of the real HK?
If you've been here a long time, why retreat to robotic suburbia?
If you have children, why deny them the rich tapestry of such an amazing city?

Waverunner - it all depends where you came from before you moved to Hong Kong. Same applies to why do you live in a village in the UK and not in London itself? Some of us prefer villages and rural settings whilst others prefer busy city life.

I agree. If you like the countryside and a more "villagey" feel I'd suggest Sai Kung. If you want to be closer to town, then Clearwater Bay.

DB is peacefull compared to the hustle and bustle of HK island, most expats here regularly travel the short half hour trip to HK to work, or in the case of kids to go to schools there. I love to go shopping in the little back streets over there going to the markets etc, I personally do not like the modern shopping Malls with designer shops. I often just venture out with a map into the non tourist areas and feel quite safe. There are many like me living in DB then enjoying coming back to the relative tranquility of DB, that way we get the best of both worlds.

Waveruner we all live in DB because of the great swingers community, don t you know???

No I didn't 151. A bunch of ageing ..........housewives..........and sad cheating husbands does not paradise make, cant imagine for anyone, leave that to HK island. (no offence)
I suspect its for happy country living that is void in most of HK. A place where one can live without being forced to tast your neighbours hot pot and offerings to Pri
ncess Diana as one reaches the front door, that makes one inclined if not for the above mentioned reasons move to DB.
As Susie says one more mall with the same same designer (****) labels is enough to make anyone reach for the Singapore airlines flight schedule with a map of Papua in the other hand.
Battery chickens aside some people actualy want a life.

This is HK. Nobody wants a life here. What planet are you on. Give me smog and Gucci.

I know a couple of DB stories. One about the nymphomaniac on the DB ferry and another about a guy who almost got hypothermia in DB plaza.

The way I heard it, the ferry Nympho WAS the Midlevels girl who disappeared. Spooky indeed.
