I left HK permanently a few years ago.
This forum serves me as "My HK away from HK kind-of place". The atmosphere here reminds me of all those times I spent carousing with buddies/friends/strangers in LKF, wanchai, tst, rest of HK...where new friendships can be created insanely fast over a bucket of drinks as we both ogled and flirted with the women. It didn't matter whether that new buddy was a local, an expat, a visitor in town for just a day, etc...as long one was cool and eager to join the fun, it didn't matter as long as one did not pre-judge the other and was willing to drink and keep drinking.
As any newcomer can attest, as long as you are cordial and honest about your reports and keep producing, you will be quickly welcomed with open arms...which makes this forum so much better than other forums I have been in. These other forums make me feel like I have to go prostrate myself to their 'forum gods' for some kind of hazing before I can get some kind of acknowledgement that my opinions/reports are valid.
If it wasn't because of the nature of this forum, I wouldn't mind telling those, who are looking to relocate to HK, to read this forum to get a sense of the atmosphere that makes HK a great place to live and work.
This forum like HK is that special place where a newcomer is warmly welcomed without much pre-judgements involved
If someone wanted to get a sense of what living in HK would be like while he contemplates a work/career transfer | |
