A bit of a random post, but for expats new and old to HK, how is living here having an impact on your happiness and emotional well-being?
I've been living here for a year and a half now, moved from the Middle East where I resided for 5 years (loved it!), and London before that where I started after university. I am on a pretty decent expat package out here with an engineering firm, yet find myself having a love/hate relationship with this city. I can't figure out exactly what it is, and I do have many things to be grateful of, but recently, most days I find myself loathing this city. So far, can boil it down to the overall cramped living standards compared to other places I've resided, as well as the mass-consumerism and endless crowds everywhere. Also, having lived here for a while, can definitely say I still feel like an outsider and not really part of any social scene.
Is it just me or does anyone else have similar views and experiences. Would be interesting to hear. Thanks for reading!
