Apartments are very expensive. Live on HK rather than Kowloon. I lived in Happy Valley which I really liked, however the mid levels and Stanley are nice too. Avoid living in Wanchai.

Yep
I still need to find a job there before I start thinking where to live.

You don't need to speak Chinese though so don't let that put you off.
I am sure there are specialist recruitment companies in the UK that handle jobs in Asia.

Yes, we contacted a few
We've been told that with the crisis as it is there's no way they'll be paying European salaries to work there; and even if we go for a good cut, they'd probably won't pay for flat and expenses either. We've been recommended to keep our jobs here and wait a year or so and then try again. In the meantime we're learning Mandarin (I know they do Cantonese, but we don't mind working anywhere in China, so Mandarin seems better)
