    Tung Chung - a good place to live?

    I have a friend planning to move to HK in June and is wondering whether TC is a good place to live. Could you shed some light on what's the community like? Are there many expats? Is the transportation to the city a real hassle (it seems miles away)? Also there appears to be several developments there, ...which is a better one to pick? I heard TC has a reputation of polluted air a few years back - any change to that? For those who live there, any regrets? Would you consider moving out? How does it compare to Discovery Bay?

    Any information helps. Many thanks.

    This is an updated daily graph of airborne pollutants of the HKSAR, which seems to be bad in one form or another, all over. It's many times more than pristine cities like Melbourne, Wellington, Auckland, Stockholm, Lyon etc etc etc.

    Let's be honest though, there are people out there who will eat a bowl full of dog turds, if you pay them enough. Everybody has a price .

    It is amazing how tolerant one becomes, when somebody pays you 5 times your homelands salary...

    What pollution ?
