Careful what you say sand dune!
Whebi joined second officers got around HKD$21500 per month to seek accomodation, then it dropped to HKD$19000 per month. For me that got a fully furnished 3 bedroom 1450sq foot apartment in a nice complex with a big pool right on the water with a bus every hour to hello kitty city, it wasn't in the mid levels or in db or even out in the boon docks of sai kung country park either. There is ample accomodation all over honk kong and now second officers who have done 2 yrs get the full allowance which get most of them a 2000 sq foot place with a car park that costs somewhere in the element of HKD$35 - HKD$ 40k per month depending on where they choose to live. Please don't try to scare of bewilder anybody with crap like you can't live on an s/o's housing allowance. What would be the difference if I was a captain that chose to buy a unit in repulse bay for the company to pay off, my money would only buy me 700 sq feet then?
