Salary 30.000 - Looking for apartment

[dumbdonkey]

what is the logic behind the meal allowance? I was never offered one.

[LEGION]

Look at living on a boat.

Legion, be nice!

haha fuck you.

Not a very good way to make friends or get any help. Also hurts your image around here when you swear at people giving you advice. Whether you think it is funny or not, there are a few expats who live on boats. MovingIn07 lives on a boat with her husband at (I believe) The Gold Coast.

The fact is that livaboard rental can be considerably cheaper than renting a bulding. Consider that you can buy a boat for a lot less cash (750k upwards) than a shoebox flat, the rents may be comparable. I also knew someone who was working as a journalist here (not v well paid) who lived on boat for two years.

If you ask a bunch of people for free advice and for some creative input, crudely insulting them is not a way to win friends and influence people in one of the most network dependent societies on the planet.

You're right. Sorry about that. The German way of writing numbers is obviously not appreciated on an English forum. Again, my apologies, and I should know better in future.

Thanks for your advice though, I went to Hung Hom before and found it to be quite a nice place - in case they had mini buses of some sort starting from the estates.
Only other options would be along the Tsuen Wan line from TST to Prince Edward then.

I kinda liked Laguna Verde though. Anyone living there and care to share some thoughts about it?

I don't know if you have kids or not but it's child friendly here. In the building next to us here's dry cleaners, supermarket(parknshop) 7 eleven, kindergartens, restaurants, Centaline (property agency)etc. If we walk a few steps (literally) theres the 1st playpark of many, right at the sea with a beautiful view of HK. A 10 min walk to the ferry terminal. Whampoa is 10mins away for shopping, cinema etc. Hutch. Park is across the street which is a beautiful park with lots of birds ,goldfish, terrapins. I have to say the clubhouse here is very good. I think. Facility wise there's Tennis court, Basketball, Golf driving range, area for private BBQ, gymn, indoor/outdoor pools, billiard room, american pool, squash, table tennis, dancing room, sauna, steam room, library and not forgetting PLAYROOM! Oh and a Karaoke Room if that floats your boat. Mobile libarary and mobile family planning come each week too. Sorry to be so long but I found the Clubhouse list.
