Hi all,
you all seem like such a helpful bunch of people. So I need to get some of that help!
I am moving to Hong Kong with my partner at the end of the month. It is a complete panic, nothing is organised except a one way flight and the visas. The jobs are nearly set though, fingers crossed.
So a few questions:
1. The weather - I have been checking the weather status and it doesnt look good right now. Is that usual? Does the weather ever get sunny, if so when?
2. Food - are their many westernised grocery stores? I'm not too fond of Chinese food, and would like to be able to make dinners at home sometimes with ingrediants I recoqnise!
3. Wages - is 18,000 dollars a good monthly wage for teaching english to kids full time?
4. Socialising - will it be easy to make friends, and go out and have a good time? What time to bars close, etc?
5. Transport - if I live in one area and work in another, is the transport system good enought to get me there without too much hassle?
6. Irish - I am Irish and I'm just wondering are the Irish accepted well in HK and are their many of us!!
Thanks so much, any help or advice is appreciated grately, as you can tell, I am very unprepared!
