Slapshot, that is an interesting thread that you participated in. Definitely worth a read although it does sound a little tainted at times.
A friendly question: besides the pollution, did you like Hong Kong at all or did you just find that the overall lifestyle there was not for you? I understand that your family played a large part in the decision to leave, but I am interested if there are any things that you might miss about the place.
On the topic of places to live...
Anyone ever live on or look into living on Lamma Island? If so, is commuting via the ferry ever a big issue?
