Im sure you've been here before so you know its a lot more expensive than Thailand but its clean, people are for the most part well behaved and its the safest city Ive ever lived in. and once you've legally lived here for 7 years you can apply for permanant residency...it can happen a lot faster if you are willing to invest a lot of money. Last I heard a friends uncle invested $20 odd million and was given his residency within 2 months.
I love HK. It's one of those places that I just keep thinking about over and over and can't wait to return to.

I didn't know that about the 7 years for residency. That's a nice bonus. I don't have 20 mil to spend to get one in two months though. Heh. That's ballin' out of control. Though if I had 20 million for SURE I would be living the high life in HK.
