Getting Around Transport in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is ultra-convenient because of its speedy and efficient transport network. If you’re used to endless commutes, there’s no need to fret here, where train delays are rare (and, if they do happen, they’re measured in minutes not hours), and a range of transport options means you’ll be zipping rather than crawling across the city. If your preference is fully focussed on taxis, though, expect a few jams.

Laurence started her entrepreneurial adventure while she was pregnant with her first daughter, and she believes that the employer-helper dynamic benefits from an ethical and open hiring process.
