"...we're still here..." ?? Sure we are. We're missing most of our limbs, had our eyes plucked out and most of us are now missing our balls, but "we're still here". Comical.

As the old saying “Money is king”, Mainland has the finances to reduce prices to a new low to attract investments. |

Never thought I would look forward to my last day as much as I earnestly now do. It's a sad place, with a combination of fear, loathing and a general air of hopelessness. CX is finished, and i'm glad I almost am as well. Have a little place in the South of France and a sailboat. Won't be thinking about HK much at that point.

A bit confused by this. Sanya is "next door" to Hong Kong in about the same sense that, for example, Houston is "next door" to Havana. I.e. 700km away and in a completely different legal, financial and political system.

Just finished selling off my last two properties. The removal agent arrives a week Monday. Next question.

Steve. It could be for a multitude of reasons (children, other business concerns, girlfriend etc, etc). Surely you have better things to do with your time than attempt to bait me (and you know that usually doesn't end well for you :=)

Sounds about right, jump in the Ferrari and drive into the sunset will ya mate. You are making a goose out of yourself and rubbing salt in everyone else’s wounds. Most A scale guys I know are extremely humble and realize how fortunate they were to join pre 1994, we look up to them....they don’t rub it in our faces.....you on the other hand. |
I lived in the Marina until last year. It is without doubt one of the nicest 'living' experiences that I have come across in HK. For a family it proves far more satisfying than a shoebox apartment could ever provide. My boat had a huge outer deck on the top level with bbq, wet bar and enough room for 15 people to have dinner..! The master bdrm is bigger than most apartments. The only reason I sold was because I started commuting and I decided on a tiny (and I mean tiny!) place in Tung Chung. |
Hmmm, don't think I was "rubbing salt" in anyone's wounds. I was explaining why I was still here. I joined on a sensible package. Obviously, you didn't. I was able to purchase several homes on the original scheme, and that, combined with other business opportunities (and family concerns) is why I am still "here". I am sorry that your package (which you obviously agreed to) was not as lucrative, but ultimately your decision (along with thousands of others who have accepted even less) is why you so resent people like myself. Let me tell you something: I would never have come to HK on the conditions that are now offered (or have been offered since about 2000). I would have stayed in my home country and established a sensible career. You, and many like you, are now resentful of the circumstances that you are now dealing with. I am sensitive to that, but not sympathetic. You made your choice, and I made mine. Don't condemn me for my more considered decision. Best wishes, and good luck.
