1 - hmm, seems like that was one of the high points, so id say bad
2 - yes, that is good
3 - what do those acronyms stand for?
4 - not sure there, but usually new govt will try to do something to help, though sometimes it ends up hurting, so i guess im back where i started, not sure
5 - probably kowloon, somewhere near hong hum ish
6 - plan to move there with the gf soon to be fiance then wife if things continue as they are
7 - its hardly my money, at least the down payment, but i will be contributing to the mortgage payments, so to answer plainly, nothing, just let it sit in the bank
