A couple of people mention its "quiet" in TC you owe me a new phone as I just spat coffee all over mine :}
200k plus in an area the size of a small farm in Australia, with one shopping area not to mention the influx of the culturally enriched mainlanders You guys crack me up

Nobodies talking about all the noise polution coming from the reclaiming of the land on the harbour.

Those boats keep drilling the ground everyday during daylight hours and still the rent/apartment prices keep going up...

In the western world, when a construction site moves next door for 5yrs+ the prices start coming down. Its like TC people want to pay more to live next to construction...

One of my favorite aspects to living in Hong Kong was the constant renovation work and drilling that went on.

I especially loved it when people above me started doing aerobics or playing with marbles on a hard floor at 2am.

Oh how I miss those days....
