Have you got an idea of what a 2-year HKG tax represents in £, or € for a non-UK resident? Myself I'm livin' in the "stinkin' cheese eater" country, the country where we do raise frogs!
I'm scheduled for an interview with KA for the MAN freighter base, and if it works and if I elect to work for them I consider continueing to live in France and commuting to MAN.
And here in France, tax level is ugly also....
