Thanks Andrew.
We are waiting for the company to send us there for a trip then we will look into areas and I probably will look into Sai Kung and Tai Po, both sounds like nice places.
If I can think of anything more before that, I will be in touch!
Thanks

Hi all

Thinking of making the move. Wondered if we came across on a tourist visa and found work in hk would we then need to return to the uk to get a work visa (professional) or would that be possible to do whilst in hk?

I'd appreciate your input on this

Thanks

I have a friend (also an expat) who lives now in HK and she said that life is very fast and advanced. She also said that she pays double for almost everything, but maybe because it's really cheap in our country.

Hi, I'm an American expat living in Australia. My company has an opening in Hong Kong for 55k/m and I was wondering if anybody has had any trouble with language. (I can speak some conversational Cantonese and am fluent in French and English)

Most if not all expats in Hong Kong do not speak a word of Cantonese and gets by very well.
