ABOUT US
Meet the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly, along with our three adventurous children. Nine years ago, we embarked on an incredible journey, leaving our home in Alaska, USA, behind to explore the world. As teachers, we were fortunate to find amazing opportunities in Chennai, India, where we spent two enriching years. Seeking new experiences, we then made our way to the United Arab Emirates.
Just as we were settling into our UAE life, the pandemic struck, but it didn't dampen our spirits. Instead, we saw it as an opportunity for another chapter in our journey. We moved to Indonesia, where we currently hold teaching jobs, and it has been a time of learning, growth, and connection.
As a family, we thrive on traveling and embracing the unknown. Adventures are our way of life, and through our experiences, we aim to inspire our children to be confident in meeting new people, trying diverse cuisines, and immersing themselves in different languages and cultures.

Since your wife is vegetarian, I would recommend "Everyday" on Hillwood Road, Tsimshatsui. It is a vegetarian buffet restaurant. Lots of choices, very good, you can try different Chinese vegetarian dishes there. Price starts from $78 per person depending on what time and which day of the week you go. In fact, there are a number of vegetarian buffet restaurants in Hong Kong, they are pretty good and not expensive.

As a Hong Konger myself, it is good to see you and your family are open and brave enough to explore the local foods which are really delicious rather than only wanting to eat burgers in MacDonald all the times but honestly, the environment of and surrounding these eating places do make me feel a bit ashamed (even myself maybe a bit hesitant to go there 😅). You should try Yum Cha as well if you guys are still in Hong Kong.

Yes, apparently a poll showed that the vast majority of HKers want the UK to take over HK again. Not sure if HK doesn't legally belong to mainland China though and that it was only a colony under the UK. Furthermore, HK actually depends on Guangdong for fresh water. In any case, it seems like Beijing wants to turn HK, instead of Shenzhen, into China's semiconductor manufacturing hub. I gather that it'll boost HK's economy.

I am a foodie in HK , born and work in HK while spending some time studying and living in Canada. Kudos to youas you are training your kids well on how to appreciate food! Joyking used to be my favorite but the Charsiu quality has dropped or others have improved significantly. The rice cheung fun is also not bad. These are places I would go from time to time! I would go to Cat Cafe or even snake, owl and porcupine cafe in Tokyo only as requested by my kids~ Gelato-to-go is actually alright too!

The salary (housing allowance inclusive for the NET teachers) is nearly the salary for local primary school principals. The workload of NET teachers ,however, is just 1/4 to 1/3 max of local teachers.

Welcome to travel to Hong Kong and introduce Hong Kong’s culture and food. Thank you and your family for your positive review of this place. In fact, if you go to a supermarket or truck shop to buy daily necessities or snacks, the price will be about 30% lower than in a 711 or Circle K. In addition, Cha Chaan tang also a good choice, and locals often go there for Tea set.
