Hey Dude
Be prepared to hear a lot of negative crap.

Dragonair is not bad. Good points
Good bunch of guys and girls
Easy flying ( not much back of clock)
Mix of multi day and day return. 6 overnites a month would be normal
Usually 9 or 10 days off a month
10 weeks leave a year

Bad points
Slow progression to command
Flying in China ( you will know what I mean when you do it)
Management has a "cannot" attitude towards pilots and conditions of service improvements

You would probably do ok in Hong Kong. Being single is a big advantage. Costs of housing and schooling are crippling so if you can avoid kids and renting a big apartment you will do a lot better.

Good luck
