Moving to Hong Kong from California (scared)?

You'll be fine, many places in Hong Kong are westernized, English is one of the 2 official languages, but just like any English-speaking countries, you'll expect a very different accent from where you are. The people are warm-hearted and always ready to give a helping hand, you'll have no problem meeting new friends and get acquainted to the place. Tung Chung is a nice residential area, the school you'll likely be attending is International School which are mostly situated on Hongkong Island. There're many interschool sports events held in Hong Kong, if you're into running, Hong Kong International School and Island School are both very good at sports and running.
