Question playgroups or meeting for a coffee, anything?

Hi everybody,
I just arrived in Hongkong 4 days ago with my family. We have a 7 months old daughter and are very happy with her.
Before we lived in Shanghai and I can't believe it myself, but I really miss it now, especially because I feel very lonely here in Hongkong.
I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me where to meet other international mothers with their children. Are there any playgroups?
I live in the New Territories but do not mind to come downtown to meet other moms.
Also maybe someone would like to meet us for some coffee? Everything is fine for me, just really need to meet some mothers with children who are in the same situation.
Thank you very much for your help.
Iris and Maxeen

Things are still a bit quiet with people slowly returning back from Xmas break. There is a playgroup at the USRC on Tues and Fri mornings.

Also St. John's Catherdal run a playgroup on Thurs afternoons.

Also, you can sign up for some classes with Maxeen. The YWCA do Kindermusik

The YMCA in TST might be closer for you

Hi Iris,

I have a 8 month old son and we live in TST. I've been living in HK for about 2 years now. If you wanna get together with the babies for a cup of coffee or something send me a private message with your contact number. Or you can also call me... I'll send you my number through private message.

Hello.

Please count me in! I have a 7.5 month baby girl and would be happy to get together. We're also relatively new to HK, having moved here from Singapore just about 2 months ago. We stay in HK island side (Mid-levels) but wouldn't mind meeting up in Kowloon (TST?).

Peace

Who is interested

Hi everybody,
I wonder who is now interested in meeting maybe next week. Let's say Thursday the 12th of January in Central some place??? Maybe at around 2 pm??? Who is coming??? The place where to meet we still can discuss, since I do not really know any place like a caffee or so. I am new in Hongkong.
But in case someone rather want's to meet at somebodies home I am fine with that, too. We could also meet at my place. The only thing is, that it is at Gold Coast.
Any ideas???
Hope to hear from you
Iris and Maxeen
