How funny from Beazlebub.
Flyingclog says: Been in HK about 5 years after 5 years on a base (UK). Don't do it. The carrot has turned rotten. The only way to take the HK posting is to take the housing, live in rabbit hutch, and commute. End of.

I'm a senior First Officer in Hong Kong and my monthly package is 160,000 HKD, or about 16,000 euros. Consisting of 8000 euros salary and 8000 euros housing allowance, both subject to 17% tax. I wouldn't get out of bed for less.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
A large slice of humble pie or carrot cake I think, if you can afford it of course!
