Some questions about bel air
Dear all,
We are moving from Singapore with one boy of nearly 3 and one coming infant.
We are seriously considering moving to Bel-Air cause we like the community there. But I still have some questions:
1, I saw the supermarket in CyberPort, which seems very expensive. is there any other market nearby? where to find the nearest wet market by bus?
2, I heard almost all units of phase 1&2 are facing west, so is it very hot in summer afternoon? Some units of phase 4 are facing south or east. Does anyone has thoughts about Bel-Air phase 4 vs. phase 1&2?
3, we speak mandarin to our kids and want to look for some playmates for them. Is it easy to find some mandarin speaking friends there?

oh, forgot one thing.
4, Our budget only can let us rent 2 bedrooms in bel air. So we don't have enough room for helper.Is it easy to find live out or part-time helper there?
Thanks.

We live in the area, and tend to buy most of our groceries at the Parknshop. We also go to Wah Fu quite often, and there is a wet market/ Wellcome (which is cheaper), Pharmacy, Mannings, hardware store, and Japan Home. Some of the double decker buses from Cyberport go through Wah Fu.
It is illegal to employ a Live-out foreign domestic helper. People still do it. However, other helpers may report you. And this did happen to a friend's neighbour. The police paid her a visit, they didn't charge her, but gave her a warning and told her that the helper had to move in.
Also foreign domestic helpers are not allowed to work part-time. You will need to find a local helper, or someone who is a resident and not here on a domestic helper visa.
