Kris ,
I would stay clear of the flying club. You're far better doing it elsewhere. Canada and the US offer accelerated courses. You can conceivably obtain your ppl over the summer holidays. In HKG the HKAC is only permitted to fly on weekends, so it will take you a very long time to finish your ppl. The more often you can fly the less hours you will need to obtain your ppl, bear that in mind. Doing it in HKG will be costly. Take the time and do the math.
