Hi all - I'm looking to move somewhere in Hong Kong that's close to the beach and has a stronger sense of local community and an island vibe. Somewhere you can return after a long day at work and chill at the neighbourhood pub or cafe with the regulars, before going for an evening swim.
Also looking to move somewhere that's much cheaper than Central, preferably not more than $10K/month, and that doesn't take more than an hour to commute to Causeway Bay. I would love to live on Lamma or Mui Wo but I'm wondering about the commute. Shek O might be an option though it also seems to be more than an hour to get in to CWB.
I'm curious to know where such a perfect place, if it exists, can be found in HK. And it would also be great to hear from folks who already get to live this life (jealous!) and some of the pros/cons you've experienced.
Background if it helps: I'm in my late 20s, have no family considerations, miss California's organic farmers' markets.
Thanks!
