All my love to every one of you! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It's been so cool to start this little channel documenting our move, and I've been blown away by its reception. Looking forward to whatever 2025 may bring! ✨
Watching you and Darren had me tearing up terribly, with lots of memories of my wife when we were your age, I lost her thru illness more than six months ago, and we are from Hong Kong. Kaya, your soft voices and way you speak, and way you decorated the house reminded me so much of her, although both of you come from world apart with different cultures and backgrounds. ❤your videos
Thank you so much for sharing, I'm so touched to hear about the similarities, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I know holidays can be tough, but I hope they treated you well in her absence, and that there were many bright moments too. 💜
Beautiful video! Beautiful family!! Made me tear up seeing you and your mom Together! Reminds me of me and my daughter! Merry Christmas and praying you have a blessed new year!
🥹💜 I actually have the best story. So the snow man had either been bought by or maybe gifted to a family friend like 20 years ago. And then for our wedding, the same family friend, gifted it back so that it could stay within the family. I was so surprised and touched. 😭 I had to get my parents to bring it here for us.
Another heartwarming vlog. You definitely have showcased your talent in sourcing bargains from local online shopping sites. I love your decorations. The best display perhaps is your gorgeous parents. I now see where you get your good gene from. Have a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year. From Aunty May & Uncle Gary from down under - Adelaide.
I really just love how positive you both are even through all the challenges. Love that your fam was able to spend the holidays with you guys. Sending love from Toronto! ❤
I like both of your hairstyles, it looks so nice on you. And also your Christmas decorations. Since space is limited, you’ve made it so warm and homey.
And after Christmas/New year festivities it's onto the next! - Chinese New Year! You'll definitely need to vlog for this big event in HK, all the Christmas decor will come off and you ll see the Red coloured Chinese New Year decor everywhere! p.s I really like your vlogs because they are very cozy and calming! Thank you and happy new year!
Thank you so much!! And you're so right--I was on Toy Street on the 24th and they were already doing their switch over to everything red and gold! And Happy New Year to you too!
Wow!! You manage to order from TB! A very popular shopping way in HK which in fact hurt the local retails biz as they also sourced from China. Next time you can order with home delivery so that you don’t need to carry a long way. Have a happy new year and happy stay in HK! Enjoying your videos 😊
Thank you so much!! Ah I can definitely see the impact--it's tough when you can skip the middle man and save money on a purchase. We'll try to find a balance in supporting local too along our journey!!
Hahaha I’m nothing if not determined 🤣 my first order tho took me like hours as I painstakingly double checked and translated things and got my alipay set up 😅
i’ve been watching ur journey on this channel & u somehow manage to make me emotional w every video 🥺🥺💓 ur editing is so good & ur voice so soothing. thank u for sharing ur life & a little bit of u w us !!! 🫶💗 happy new year! u guys deserve nothing but the best~ 💕
Thank you so much for the kind words! You're making me emotional over here! 🥹💜 It's really cool to hear that our journey resonates with others in any way!
@KayaMarriott make a complaint to your building management and ask them to notice note at lift lobby with warning, if no improvement, ask them to call the police, can't stand and tolerance next time

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it 💜
22c during Dec in HK is still better than 6c in Vancouver or -6c in TO. Thanks for sharing.
Haha this is absolutely the truth. 😂 I'm afraid I've gotten a bit too used to the weather here already, that I was starting to feel cold.

Loving the time you got to spend with the 'rents! Happy new year, Kaya and Darren! ❤
Happy New Year, Casey!! It was a lot of fun, you guys gotta make a trip out here!

Haha you are too sweet, thank you!
What a fun video. I'm glad you got to spend time with family this season
Thank you!! And same here, it was so special!

You’re telling me 😐🤣
Happy new year! Saw you last Thursday at the races 😆
Happy new year!! And haha no way!! As I make these videos I'm increasingly finding out how small of a world it is!
You know you can pay very little extra and they deliver too your home
@@LivinginHongkong1 haha yes! My previous orders I had delivered, but I wanted to try the free pickup 🤣

Happy New Year! Just wanted to share a tip, head over to the geoexpat forum if you want to talk and discuss all things HK with some other expats!
Thanks for the tip!! Will check it out!
how's your balcony? it's still any rubbish from up floors?
Unfortunately yes, but our balcony is thriving, and it's not frequent enough to put a damper on it!

着短袖🥶
不過今年聖誕的確唔凍😔
Haha Darren says it's the Canadian in us--but I'm honestly acclimatizing too fast, and we had to buy a space heater recently!
@@KayaMarriottIt can be rather cold in winters sometimes when it is a subtropical zone. Of course it is nothing compared with Canada 😂😊
Happy New Year 2025 Kaya both
Happy New Year to you too!’ 💜
YOU BOUGHT YOUR FRIENDS KIDS A DRUM SET?????
I know 😭🙈
You can go to the flower market to buy a real Christmas tree at Prince Edward station. You can go for it by MTR. I hope they are happy in Hong Kong.
Ooh that's where we were looking, but it seemed a bit pricey! I think we'll do it next year though--I've always wanted one!
Comfyparentscurls and comfycatscurls make an appearance!!! 🩵
hehehe the team is expanding!!
