Re: Feather Duvets & Pillows

Ooh, that looks great then.

I was sad to be getting rid of some wicker baskets, so I will chance packing them and declare them.

Re: Speeding fine?

Re: Hong Kong airport?

We spent about 5 hours there in August. We don't do the lounges so we just pulled up a few comfy seats and settled in. Then we went off in pairs to do any browsing/shopping.

Re: 3 weeks in, what expat info was most useful for me

That really is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
