hi tomys and welcome to the forum

Welcome to SGL Tomys. The good thing about astronomy is that it doesn't matter whether you are 4 or 104, it's good for all ages. I too hope that you can get to somewhere away from the light pollution. Trying to look from inside your apartment also runs the risk of the heat and thermals affecting the quality of your viewing. Having said that, the heat outside might be even worse - not a problem we have to contend with much in the UK

Welcome Tomys, If I remember correctly the back side of HK island was a LOT darker than the harbour (but this was 10 years ago...). looking south? over the sea was the best.

Hello and welcome Tomys. Hope you manage to find a good dark location.
