Foo: I have been condidering that but must wait for opportunity to pop up, not to mention the current economic situation. And yes, I do like that place, it has freedom and good Chinese food. Why do you ask?
I am considering the same. HK is closer to family, has good food and entertainment and is coming close to the UK on the political, social and economic standards. Maybe offers more career prospects to people like us. But it's also over-crowded and fast-paced... quite a change from what we are enjoying in the UK. Not so much of a problem to us (we have passed tougher tests in Malaysia), but to the young ones (schooling/childhood in HK can be a nightmare...)
Foo: Yes, you have to give and take. Going HK means no more peaceful and quiet life in the UK. However, HK educational system is one of the best in the world—where else can you find a place where the kids study Chinese history yet with good command in English? Furthermore, you as an academician would find it easier to get a job in HK universities, and they pay well, while me in commercial field would find it tougher to get a job at this point of time. Actually the worst thing about HK is not the pace, is the shortage of individual space. If you ask me what is the best place on earth for kids to grow up, I would say Australia, and I love that place, but finding a job there now is tough, and the pace is even slower than the UK. haha .
‘HK educational system is one of the best in the world’— true but also one of the toughest, if not THE toughest. When I was in Form 6, people said STPM was the world's second hardest exam -- only behind HK public exam. STPM is a nightmare to me so why should I give my child a bigger nightmare?
Foo: Don’t worry so much la…...the kids would know how to deal with it, we find STPM tough because it was in Bahasa, and secondly the expectation to score high depressed us—as we were in an unfair competition. A level in other countries are different, you don’t have to score all As

Would you consider leaving UK for HK?
I'm serious!
Are you in HK lately ?

第一次看如此"醒目"的贺喜广告牌.有时间
要安排到外面走走,不要老了走不动才後悔.
另,以前待在中国东北时,当地人的结婚喜酒在中午,是娶正妻(大婆),晚上请的喜酒是娶小妾.
有听说过吗?
华人的黑白事都是俾面派对。。。
好恐怖的结婚通告牌,幸好这里没有流行....

Tat: no la, still in the ang-moh land.
晨靈: 倒沒聽說過, 看來還是做小的合算.
Alice: 幸虧白事沒有如此的廣告牌
夫人: 以後妳嫁女兒時試試看....
比较喜欢英国的乡村田园生活，香港给人一种紧张的压迫感。

Hard choices, really.
康華: 看你怎麼看, 有時節奏太慢了你就會靜極思動. 但主要還是看事業, 如果有份自己喜歡的工作, 待遇又夠好, 就會考慮 (大馬除外, 再多錢也不考慮). 現在多了一樣憂慮, 需找個適合女兒成長的地方.

老实说，做得非常漂亮！

詩婷, 安哥爵, 老顏: 從藝術的眼光來看, 是很漂亮的, 它有着一種淳樸的艷麗, 不修飾, 土味十足卻又特別
