A session with Mr. Google searching rents in Hong Kong and what you get for your money will be revealing. If you cope with that, you are also in for years as a Second Officer with an unusable 'P2X' rating, just in case you are planning to go there 'just for the endorsement'.
I am interested on why you say it is unusable. An endorsement is an endorsement isn't it? Or are you saying its possible to have an endo with only half the boxes ticket on the form?
