Should I Stay or Should I Go? With school’s suspended and shelves bare, it’s the question on many expat’s minds right now. And I won’t lie, I’m the first to jump ship in a crisis. But after weighing up the odds, here’s why I’m in the remain camp. It’s during tough times that a city shows its strength. And if Hong Kong has demonstrated anything over the past few months, it’s strength. Those who were here during SARS will tell you ‘Hong Kong always bounces back.’ From Becky Love’s A-Z of reasons to love being in Hong Kong right now (page 18) to psychologist Angela Watkin’s explanation of the epidemic of fear we are currently experiencing, Hong Kong Living is here with you - through rain and shine! With less people around, take time to enjoy Hong Kong’s great outdoors this month, see our guide to the city’s best hikes (page 20) and outdoor yoga classes (page 30). And since we’re all spending more time at home at the moment, perhaps it’s time for a home refresh? Check out Tracy Fitzpatrick’s cosy Shek O abode on page 36 for some inspiration. Stay strong Hong Kong!
