I'd lived in London for 16 more years but returned to HK in 2013. I'm thinking of moving back to the UK because of the political climate. Thanks for your information living in Manchester! Really informative!
Siu-Ping Hung things have changed in UK soo much, things are a lot more convenient nowadays you don’t even have to use cash even at some markets and coffee shops are cashless. If you like to have abit more space UK is great, we miss HK but we came back for family as they are old. I hope you are able to find where you want to live!☺️ Best of Luck!
I know this is over 1 year old, but I've only chance upon it. Ohter things you may want to brink over from HK 1. Good chinese cleaver (菜刀) and other chinese kitchen utensils - limited choice, so so quality expensive. Though no need steamer. 2. Good chinese dining set, chopsticks - same comment as above 3. (If hyou have spare baggage capcity) Dried goods - dried shrimps, dried scallops, dried mushrooms, etc - can find some, but not others. again not top grade. I usually bring back big bags when I visit HK, Malaysia, Singapore etc. 4. (I am going over the top here) Good soy sauce. - 2 grades of Lee Kum Kee, Pearl River. Sometimes you can find HK brands. Lee Kum Kee can now be found in most supermarkets.
Thank you for watching! Your too kind, I’m just a normal mum really just want to share with you all how we live in Manchester and UK. You can go to my Facebook I post everyday life things there so you can get a feel of life in Manchester.m.facebook.com/bettyinmanchester/
Hi Verna, You can bring them over on your flight but not in your container. I had to throw and give away a lot of food because I couldn’t carry them over. Check out speedpost you maybe able to send dried food over if you can’t fly over with them. My family and friends always bring them to me.

Thanks again for your practical tips. Wonder if steam oven is popular in UK? Is it pricey? Can’t live without my Panasonic steam oven. Should I sent it?
Hi Evie, if you have one bring it over it will be really useful, if not you can get one in UK. Tabletop ones I think in HK they have more variety, because in the UK people use oven and microwave a lot. But they do sell steam ovens.

Hi Betty, did u ship the girls' books (leisure reading) to Manchester? Is it easy to buy books in UK? Are retail book shops accessible? or I have to buy them online only?
Hi there, I love collecting books so some books I didn’t want to give away I shipped to Manchester. It’s very easy to buy English books in UK, you can go to shops like Waterstones or online at Amazon. Amazon is super quick to deliver, look into getting Prine it’s very handy to have. Especially when we had to stay at home.
Hi Mandy, I think if you have ones in HK and are still good to use, I don’t think they will take up too much space if you are shipping a container so you can consider to bring them. In the UK sewing machines can be inexpensive. Lidl and Aldi are supermarkets in UK, just to share with you that they sometimes sell sewing machines in store as they may have a sewing promotion. www.lidl.co.uk/en/c/sewing-kit/c1622/w2 (Lidl are selling singer sewing machines)☺️ www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/dates/2020-09-24?sort=popular&q=%3Apopular%3AtransactionalStatus%3Atransactional%3AtransactionalStatus%3Anontransactional%3AEvent%3AHobbies+%26+Crafts&lowerBound=0&upperBound=380&text=uh
Hi there, I was only able to bring my skincare, perfume and beauty products on the flight here in my luggage. I had to through a lot away because I couldn’t carry it all and couldn’t send it over in the move. Also it was not worth while to send it by post. So I get my friends to bring Korean skincare to me from HK when they come. And friend always bring me masks so I never needed to buy. but you can buy masks everywhere. But normally use European brands and go on :- www.lookfantastic.com or www.cultbeauty.co.uk For make-up, there is a lot of variety from low cost to high. You kind find a lot of choice in Boots & Super drug. Since coming back I really like Fenty by Rihanna the foundation and primer is really good as I used to use Korean CC cushion and I wanted to find a good replacement. But I’m no beauty guru. As for cooking appliances, if you have it and it’s useful bring it over, I brought my Bruno over and all my LC dishes and pots that’s why I had over 100boxes☺️ One appliance I think it good is the Airfryer, I got a Philips one on Amazon’s Black Friday which happens in November . And also a pressure cooker you can look into it as for me it really helps.☺️
Hi, Betty, if I don’t like to use clothes dryer, should I bring a dehumidifier to UK for drying clothes? Or is the weather dry enough for the clothes to dry in the house?
Hi Didi, in the house you have a heating system, in winter when it’s on you will find that clothes will dry quite quick if you hang them on a clothes rack . You can also put clothes in the radiator to dry the odd bits of clothing. I brought my dehumidifier over only because I know in Uk they don’t have many good brands and I like the one I had so I brought it over as it may be handy. But I never used it as I use a dryer, and with soo many clothes to wash, dry, fold and put away O need to be quick so I opted for the dryer. I didn’t want to have clothes in the house blocking my way if you know what I mean.😁
Hi Alice, if you already have them and they are still good enough to use you can bring them over. Instruments are easy to buy here, you can go in store or online☺️
Dyson can be less expensive in UK they do the refurb option that is still new but cheaper. Also the warranty is very good here. The fans I was talking are just normal like Japanese fans, to be honest its personal preference if you like dyson you can buy in UK but traditional fans are more powerful you will be able to tell the difference when you come and live in a house with no air con☺️!
Hi there, Yes there are places that sell sewing machines, they are sold online at Hobby craft, John Lewis , Amazon and many more places. There are always discounts and offers going on. I like to go to Abakhan it sells most everything for sewers, knitter and crafters, I'm more of a crochet person so I go there for wool and felt, they also sell online too! But fabric and trims I feel are more cheap in HK. There is a shop in Manchester at the northern quarter, if you come to the uk you can visit it. Abakhan 111 - 115 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LN (I love going there!☺️ its 5 mins away walk from the Arndale centre) Here are some links:- www.abakhan.co.uk www.johnlewis.com www.hobbycraft.co.uk Hope you find this helpful!
Pik Kwan Leung I think there are lots of choices in UK and very easy to buy, I’m not sure what brand you are buying but if it was me I would buy in UK because of the warranty and you can get parts and replacement easily.
Hi YY, If you have children going into secondary Altrincham, Sale, Hale, Bowden south of Manchester. Young couple/ young Families Didsbury, Chorlton, Prestwich, Whitefield, or the four Heatons, Really depends if you want to be near the city and if you have children☺️
HI Kam, You can get them installed but remember you need to have this serviced/ cleaned yearly and UK only have a week or two of super hot weather. Last year it really was not too hot, but the year before it was super hot like this year. It’s really your choice but there are options☺️ so need not to worry. Better to have a decent car with good air con is better😂
Hi Mabel, Sadly I get my skin care from HK when my friends come over they bring it to me. But there are lots of choice here but I have never really explored, I normal use a French brand.and sometimes buy things from here www.lookfantastic.com, you can take a look. PS this is just one site there’s lots more. UK is quite dry so a mask a day will keep the wrinkles away.☺️ As for clothing don’t worry there are lots of choices for leggings here, you can even consider children’s wear. A lot of brands do teen clothing and it basically looks like adults clothing. Also a lot of UK brands have cropped pants!👌🏻
食物要hand carry過嚟嘅，所以揀一啲真係需要嘅啦。不過基本日式醬料好似味醂miso萬字醬油，呢度都有嘅。藥材真係唔太清楚，唔想教錯你呀。 Check this out hope this helps!:- assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/531649/Bringing_food_into_the_UK_leaflet.pdf
It depends, if its share ownership with local council "Help with rent to buy" scheme, it will be more legit. but if just sharing with someone, then it might be a bit complicated when you try to sell the house or in returning taxation.
Why hker often ask whether I need to bring things like matters, electric appliances? Do u think you are going to third world! Electric fan, oh coming seriously! Depends on which month and whether, unless u arrive at the middle of the heat wave otherwise, plenty available .
Hi there, the moving company will give you guidance, but it’s quite simple really just fill in the form attach with packing list and supporting documents such as residential address, etc.I think for further details you can ask your moving company because I’m scared I may miss out some things. Best to clarify it with a pro!☺️ Best of Luck hope it all goes smooth for you!
Have a question. Food and liquid not allow in shipment, but can bring some in the luggage in our flight to UK, is that right? I thought food is not allowed in entering UK??
Hi Heidi, The shipping agent I used didn’t allow us to ship any foods or liquid. You can check with your shipper if it is the same case. Depends what foods you are bringing over in your luggage, if you want to be more clear you can take a look at the link below:- assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/531618/Bringing_fruit__veg_and_plants_into_the_UK_leaflet.pdf assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/531649/Bringing_food_into_the_UK_leaflet.pdf Check out the Veggie part you can bring 2kg of choi for personal use☺️ Hope you find this helpful!
你當而家係90年代97前的移民潮！ 以前啲嘢貴就會生長水遠都 搬運過去。現在D人係走佬， 咁得唔得閒去planD唔係重要的事！ Without TV is not end of the world. I lived without tv for at least 10yrs. 你問我除咗藥物及一些個人喜好的物件， 基本上冇嘢需要喺香港帶過去UK! All necessities are available in the, although may have limited choice on specific item. Remember what every u bring won't last forever and you have to prepared you will never ever return to hk.
yeah, back in the 80s/90s shops are very limited in the UK when compare to HK, but I think because of the internet, its so much easier to buy whatever you want in the UK these days.

Hi Betty You are so nice I will buy a new TV in UK but I want to bring my 42" old Tv to UK so I can watch blu-ray disc in my room may I know the fare transport is very expensive ? Thanks

Hi, Betty, 有朋友話梳化、牀、書架、衣櫃等都可以在英國買，想睇吓你的意見！
我都建議喺英國買㗎，呢面啲傢私電器唔算貴，一定可以揀到配合你新屋，而且好多都送貨上門，可以好快送到唔使等幾個月船期。
為什麼買不到風扇因為舊年英國天氣反常，非常之熱英國人發生搶買，一個月之後供應正常，所以現在不要担心太多供應。

Hi ～ I heard about Swinton, is it a good place to live? How about schools? Thank you
Swinton係比較舊區傳統住宅區，都唔算係差嘅但係要揀area。附近嘅話其實你都可以睇埋Prestwich，傳統上係比較好嘅區份，有少量華人住，同埋有一個猶太人community係果度。學校的話，小學其實周圍都有OK嘅，可以用學校做定位搵屋，咁就唔使太過大海撈針咁搵地方。
Hi, Betty , 你提到猶太社區，我估果d 社區入面學校都有機會係猶太教，因為香港大部分教會嘅學校會係基督教、天主教等，猶太教嘅學校ok 嘛？

食物要hand carry過嚟嘅，所以揀一啲真係需要嘅啦。不過基本日式醬料好似味醂miso萬字醬油，呢度都有嘅。藥材真係唔太清楚，唔想教錯你呀。

Thank you 🥰
@@cookiechan8292 這裏的中式超市有售，是包好一包包的中藥湯包。
Shu Hung Yau 但因為老人家鍾意自己配搭材料
@@cookiechan8292 是可以帶來的，我太太每年回港都是自己去药房買，那些當歸，人參，北芪，方當等等。
buy a share ownership house ok ma?
It depends, if its share ownership with local council "Help with rent to buy" scheme, it will be more legit. but if just sharing with someone, then it might be a bit complicated when you try to sell the house or in returning taxation.
可以講下系英國裝修系揾人設計好,還是自己買傢俬,自己設計好呢？假設買咗新樓,己有基本電器及裝修的情況下
謝謝
我建議自己攪，由其如果你係新樓基本上9成攪掂嘅話，你只係需要放啱傢私同擺設已經好好睇。英國本地人都好注重interior，所以英國有好多傢具鋪，唔同價錢風格都有，唔介意甚至可以配搭吓英式舊傢私。其實行街睇同賣傢私係好好玩嘅事，所以我建議自己享受吓呢個過程。
Betty in Manchester / 曼活Betty 請問可否推介一些經濟實惠而品質比較好的家俬店？
Hi ,Betty,新屋已有基本電器及装修，如果掉晒好浪費及唔抵，有冇啲沒裝修及室內設計嘅新屋賣呢，會有英國人要求呢類屋嗎？
@@cks911928新樓基本上一定有多少裝修，由其係廚房同廁所。 如果係賣樓花，都可以同發展商傾吓用料例如地氈地板廚櫃等等。但係如果係賣現樓，可能你要揀啲裝修比較簡單嘅盤，再配合自己要求整一部分。英國人要做100%自己設計，比較多會買舊樓去重新裝修多。
帶冷氣機可以嗎？
可以嘅..... a big BUT.....因為呢面9成9住家都無冷氣，所以安裝可能會貴啲，有咩事要維修又會貴啲。同埋英國真係熱嘅都係一個月左右嘅事，部冷氣會成年無乜用。
Why hker often ask whether I need to bring things like matters, electric appliances? Do u think you are going to third world!
Electric fan, oh coming seriously! Depends on which month and whether, unless u arrive at the middle of the heat wave otherwise, plenty available .
May I ask how can I apply ToR in Hong Kong?
Thanks!
Hi there, the moving company will give you guidance, but it’s quite simple really just fill in the form attach with packing list and supporting documents such as residential address, etc.I think for further details you can ask your moving company because I’m scared I may miss out some things. Best to clarify it with a pro!☺️ Best of Luck hope it all goes smooth for you!
如果帶小朋友中文書，搵搬運公司定係自己帶過去？
買定pack箱寄啦，書唔等使又重。記住買多啲習作簿，因為中文字真係要靠寫寫寫寫寫先學到。
Betty in Manchester / 曼活Betty Thx 🙏
想請教下M8區的治安如何？THX
M8 呢個區治安... 我唔敢講成個post code ，但係有啲地方係比較差，如果自己住要小心啲揀。
咁空氣清新機有無須要帶去？
我都有帶但係好少用，呢度空氣其實唔差。不過如果你有鼻敏感，因為夏天hay fever有時都幾犀利，所以如果已經有一部咪帶埋嚟啦。
Betty in Manchester / 曼活Betty 哦，咁係咪要買定一set filter refill 去？
Have a question. Food and liquid not allow in shipment, but can bring some in the luggage in our flight to UK, is that right? I thought food is not allowed in entering UK??
Hi Heidi,
The shipping agent I used didn’t allow us to ship any foods or liquid. You can check with your shipper if it is the same case.
Depends what foods you are bringing over in your luggage, if you want to be more clear you can take a look at the link below:-

請問在香港買電話和飯煲是否全球保用?
手機唔識答呀。但係電飯煲就應該無喇，呢度少人用好少公司賣，所以parts都無，不過通常飯煲都可以用好耐嘅。
你當而家係90年代97前的移民潮！ 以前啲嘢貴就會生長水遠都 搬運過去。現在D人係走佬， 咁得唔得閒去planD唔係重要的事！ Without TV is not end of the world. I lived without tv for at least 10yrs.
你問我除咗藥物及一些個人喜好的物件， 基本上冇嘢需要喺香港帶過去UK! All necessities are available in the, although may have limited choice on specific item. Remember what every u bring won't last forever and you have to prepared you will never ever return to hk.
yeah, back in the 80s/90s shops are very limited in the UK when compare to HK, but I think because of the internet, its so much easier to buy whatever you want in the UK these days.
So thankful ur tips
We HongKonger need to support
Your welcome, thank you for your support!
Betty, 請問在英國買家俬和大、小型電器通常是網購定店鋪買的？ 請問可否推介一些網購店和店鋪？ thanks! 請問床笠和枕袋是不是在香港買比較好？
上網同去鋪頭，我感覺一半一半啦，因為呢面上網買嘢同運送都好方便。屋企嘢你可以留意吓Homesense同Dunelm，我自己都會去嘅。仲有好多好難講得晒，等我下次拍條片介紹吓。床上用品可以選擇英國買，唔貴同最重要唔使等幾個月運到嚟先有得用呀嘛。
Betty in Manchester / 曼活Betty thanks, Betty
You forgot about water softners for showers. I freaked out when I lost a bunch of hair after my first month showering in Britain LOL
Tristan Lau haha it may be stress of moving here! We as a family have never had that problem, check out your vitamins too or general diet. Holland and Barrett are good for vitamins!☺️ or Chinese soup.
Hi Betty You are so nice I will buy a new TV in UK but I want to bring my 42" old Tv to UK so I can watch blu-ray disc in my room may I know the fare transport is very expensive ? Thanks
Hi Kai,
If you are already shipping a container, let the shipping person know you want to ship the TV they will be able let you know the costs. The only additional cost would be the box to put it tv in.☺️
@@bettyinmanchester Thanks Betty
還有係英國蚊拍要£15😂
You are so nice. I want to know whether you can read & write Chinese🤣
曼活Bettyare u joking! u went buy all from hk ??????
Get a Smart TV box
什麼電器要收VAT?
有TOR嘅話，理論上寄過嚟嘅物件唔使交稅嘅，但係條例上都有講到要係用咗6個月或以上先可以括免。詳情你可以睇睇呢度呀。www.gov.uk/government/publications/notice-5-transfer-of-residence-moving-to-or-returning-to-the-uk-from-outside-the-eu/notice-5-transfer-of-residence-moving-to-or-returning-to-the-uk-from-outside-the-eu#sec4
Hi, 要收據證明電器用咗6months +?
Gloria MC Lee 如果海關會問嘅話就要嘅，不過其實唔係每一個櫃都check，建議啲單據盡帶啦，唔算好嘥位啫。
Manchester 幾多雨落嘅。
Yes it does rain a lot in Manchester and in UK😭
But recently we have had great weather. Today is 26 degrees! 😄
你講D問题好夸張呀物野大型家電都話洗唔洗带你重講漏左两樣咼係洗衣机同乾衣机呀唔重果款都唔帶連床褥都話帶咁张床唔搬埋来
？？
你好可愛
you are so pretty and cutie 💕💕

請問在香港用開的麵包機、鑄鐵鍋、鑊等，係咪係香港運過來比較好？
我都好多LC帶晒過嚟架。麵包機呢面都唔貴，如果已經有就帶埋啦，雖然呢度買麵包超平，但係呢面英國本土麵粉都好靚，用嚟同小朋友玩吓都好。
Betty in Manchester / 曼活Betty 係呀！用開好用唔想唔要。咁如果只有幾件電器和廚具，運費是否好貴！
Betty in Manchester / 曼活Betty 請問英國買LC 和Staub 是不是比香港平？ 請問在英國那兒有得買？
@@carmenli805 我建議如果唔太多嘢，你可以試吓寄一兩個紙箱，搬運公司可能都會做嘅。應該唔會太貴嘅。
@@peggyyau2009 LC碗碗碟碟TKMaxx同 Homesense就比較平，煲就可以去Cheshire Oaks Outlet 買，都係比較平，仲有呢個網都OK嘅。
www.hartsofstur.com/brands/le-creuset/le-creuset-special-offers/le-creuset-clearance-sale.html
不過英國就無日本特別版，呢啲就要喺香港日本買喇。Staub我少用，所以無乜意見俾到你。☺️
