STW. So, you imply that 'our' comments are dishonest? According to who, yourself?. Why don't you tell him how that is more than enough money to drag his family here. Why don't you tell him that he and his family will enjoy living in a 500 sq/ft apartment. And then of course there's food, utilities, insurance, medical costs (!), transportation, the cost of travel (or I guess the wife and kids can just stay 12mo/yr in HK?). So please, as you chimed in, give the man the 'truth'.
FYI: SamTingWong had a post up (between mine and the one above) a few minutes ago suggesting that most of us weren't being 'honest' with our account of costs in HK. Well, he deleted his post. I guess he realised that once again he was proving himself a complete w@#ker. Coward.
