    Yes, but now he is a card-carrying hypercritic, he can do it in half the time.

    You'll need a second helper, also from Indonesia, to cast spells on you and your loved ones that will cancel out those cast by your first helper.

    Also, in order to get a jump start on saving up the cash needed for your Mainland license plate (double plates are de rigeur, as we all know), you may want to put your family on strict HK-style rations: choy and rice only, with an unlimited supply of extremely weak (but always piping hot) tea -- to be dispensed into plastic bottles water bottles wrapped, in turn, inside of those very thin sorts of plastic bags available for free (no 50 cent charge!) in the vegetable aisles of local supermarkets.

    One more year in HK and we will see: "I've done it, I moved to MidLevels"....continue on this road and soon, you never know, you might actually become buddy with DeletedUser.

    If she's broken her contract, she may have to go home and wait for her visa in Indonesia. Takes 6-8 weeks to process
    Rani, do we need to go to immigration to collect this 'Domestic Helper Pack'? Will their be a standard contract included that I can use?

    Thanks in advance..

    as a whitey employer, you need to buy her strawberries and mineral water as a daily staple. And don't forget to set her free at 6pm.
