I loved living in HK

You lived in HK?
Details please! I'm so jealous of people who live in exotic places.

From 2004 to 2006 when I worked for The Coca-Cola Company.
Lived in Happy Valley, worked in Times Square. Spent a lot of time in Shanghai and Shenzen with work. Used to love going to Lamma island on a Sunday to relax and Friday nights in Lan Kwoi Fong.

It's expensive there but I was lucky not to pay tax as an ex-pat and my company paid for the flat, maid, driver etc.

that's pretty sweet
I'd love to do something like that, but my skills aren't really in demand anywhere else!

Is that where you go crazy and get asked to leave for a while?

No that was why I left HK and came home.

Hong Kong is one of my favourite places to visit.
First time there I went for a drink in Felix at the Peninsula. Sounds odd but the toilets are what I remember most about the place. The urinal was set into the window so you had the feeling of peeing on Hong Kong from a very great height.

Ooh ooh, those toilets are famous
They were designed by Phillipe Starck, who's doing the interior design for the Virgin Space Station.

I'm excited because I've learned something from my studies.

Next time you're there go to the restaurant on the top floor of the Shangri-La hotel on the island
56th floor, with amazing views of the harbour.
