You gila ker? I hate to work for hongkees. They look down on us. They just a bit like singkies.

I was surprise that they even talk like cavemen, they keep referring to me as someone from the developing nation.

Ok lar, not everyone is bad, they are efficient, and some of them are nice. But the bosses are assholes.

my friend is still in hk for 3 years ... looks ok for him but i guess he's always worried whether his contract gonna be extended

If pay less than 30k HKD, better stay in Malaysia. If >30k HKD can stay. FYI a common seven friday watch is selling 9.4k HKD there. Fried rice 25HKD

THat also if you are staying alone in a cheap place. If you have children and rent a better place, you need to at least double that.

Among all asia countries i've been to. Hong Kong is the best international country for "single" men. Although Singapore consider as international country as well but the girls mindset there aren't that "International" yet

You can read Chinese or not?

If you cannot, then going to order makan very susah liao.

Hong Kee people have no patience one.

my uncle has worked there fo 30+ years now..one of the Directors in Tysan Group

fyi the cost he had to pay to buy his parking lot at his Condominium is equivalent to a condo here

that gives u an idea of the cost of living there

Hmm.....dont really think so. Working in Japan now, I think Japan is best for single men. Here girls are trying to change to a international mindset.

This is so very true. especially in "Tai pai tong". I always need my wife to patiently explain to me what is on the menu and also the set menu that is available.

Hong Kong is just too crowded. No privacy. Not much thing to do during weekend.

living expenses in hk quite high...

Its not quite high.....its one of the highest in the world. Hence you need to earn HKD to live in HKD and not MYR.

hello,

hongkong is good for experience but not for long term... if you plan to go there 2-3 years to get something interesting on your resume then go for it.

i worked in hk for 3 years - exited june 2015 ... average expenses (per month) -

rent = 12,000 (cwb area)
food = i budgeted 100 per meal x 3 meals x 30 days = 9,000
mobile / internet / utilities = 500
octopus card top up = 500

hope this helps.

That is just if you are single! Planning to move my whole family there.........education for my children will cost a bomb!

Average child education is HKD10k per month pls take note.
Average 3 bedroom unit is HKD25-35K per month
Average train ride cost HKD 30-40 a day
Average price per meal HKD80-100

My relative husband earns HKD 1 mill per annum and he feels better of when he was in Australia earning AUD4000/mth

And yes,they look down on us

That's about right. Education is really expensive and they start from 3 years old. British Council Pre school for kids 3yrs -6 yrs cost about 72,000HKD/year.

I do have a property in HK currently but a bit far of from city center. As I am looking at a few schools in HK, I might just sell it off and get one nearer to their school.
