Yes indeed. HKG is a beautiful place to be, I'd much prefer to go there for holidays instead of living there as Sydney is my home and nothing beats Sydney to me. Saying this, I have aunts and cousins in HKG and visit them regularly and I love that place, it's a very lively place. There are "villages" and large buildings wherever you wish to live.

All I can say is that you'll love HKG, I don't know much about the government but from my holidays and visits to my cousins, it's one good place to be I've heard that they collect tax at the end of the year all at once which could be a bad thing. Like HotDog said, visit HKG and you'll know whether you want to live there or not. I didn't want to leave when I was there back last Christmas but when I came back to Sydney, I felt I was even more happy so I treat HKG as a holiday destination and go there to visit my cousins and aunties regularly. Good place to be depending on what type of person you, I'm a more "quiet" person and prefer Australia. As Hotdog also said, the pollution there is getting worser but I don't think it'd do you much damage

The technology there is far ahead from Australia. The fastfood outlets there are amazing compared to what we have in Australia, Maccas in HKG have a larger menu than the Australian one and so does Pizza Hut etc. Last of all, I wouldn't mind living there if I work for CX but Sydney will always be my first choice!

I'm not really sure about this one but I've been told it's much harder to drive there as there are more cars and the roads have more lanes (Compared to Australia, the most lanes we have on roads is 6 or 7) Not sure about Canada. Perhaps HotDog can give you an idea of the driving there although that's what I heard of it, hard to drive and a lot of traffic jams for sure. I don't drive yet But from what I see when I'm on taxis, it's really crazy

Kind Regards,
