        Depends on the expat package. Does it include accommodation? Rent is expensive.

          Taxes are low. I assume you have no dependents?

            No dependents and still a bit vague on the relocation package.

            Reading up on hk seems to be a place for the young, living seems cramped and expensive.

              Would you be able to get away with not working?

                It's not a very big place!

                  I'm doing my best now! Looking into i don't think HK is for us. Looks like a place for the young and ambitious.
