Well, I'm not completely sure but I have lived in a city in China (even though I now live in the USA)... Average Familes will have one child and you will have a nice room or share one...your going to walk home and don't expect people to wear designer clothes to school if it's a middle class family... First, average homes will have like a: Kitchen- It would be about 12 by 6 feet...It will also include the washer because in China/Hong Kong they have a room to hang their clothes to dry Living Room- Couch, TV (NOT PLASMA LCD), and it's about 17 by 20 feet, everything essential thing you would find in a living room Dining Area- NOT formal dining area, eating, etc. Bathroom- Toilet, Sink, etc. Second, the host family will be very kind to you. There is a chance that they will do things they normally won't do. Third, the average family in Hong Kong lives in an apartment. The public schools will have a playground if it's for younger kids. Older grades will have to an area in the front to chat and stuff. The curriculum is going to be quite hard and you will have to deal with a lot of tedious homework everyday, and they give lots of homework over the summer. People live in many places, probably 99% of people will live in apartments. Any suggestions: Be Yourself, you will probably will have to walk to school everyday and you might have to buy your own food for yourself, try not to talk to strangers... It's very busy and it might be hard to adjust because it might be a little chaotic there...the place is very busy and don't expect the dad (or person(s) to go to work early and return early (4 P.M.).... Have fun!

Well, if you are hardworking and not let a chance go by when you see one, Hong Kong is the place for you. Hong Kong is a place of opportunities but you still have to work hard to realise your dreams and the pace of life is fast. But it is a great city, compared to a lot of places :)

living in Hong kong is tought, but easier than living in NYC. everyone moves faster, and it is high demanding, but very interenaitonal and plently of option and choices.
HK is tougt, and just like every city in other countries. when living is expensive, you have to make more moeny to survive by yourself or support the money to family.
