Hong Kong in 2021

 Hello, still in HK as we near the end of 2021. Kids in the same school, husband in the same job, we’re still living in the same building. Spent the last 2 years mostly at home and not socializing. 

We’ve been lucky that it never got very bad with COVID here in HK. We made one last trip to Singapore in 2021 and tied up some loose ends. And now, for the first time, I’m glad to say we live in HK instead of Singapore. 

Universal masking: the one factor that saved everyone in the early days. Your gweilo ass can thank HKers for this. You’re welcome. 


The borders are shut to non-residents who are unvaccinated. 21-day quarantines for those from high risk countries. I’m grateful for these measures, because it keeps us all safe, the schools open, life goes on pretty normally. Mainland Chinese tourists cannot enter HK yet. This arrangement suits us- the city is quieter and more pleasant these days. 



3 + 4 quarantine for inbound travellers to HK

  We’re finally at the point of opening borders to point where Singapore was 2 years ago.  Ah bless the HK Government’s little black hearts....
