Which, by the way, is fairly realistic given some of the public parking spaces on the streets.

True in principle, but they seem pretty relaxed about that - I apologised for the fact that I was having difficulty finding a document proving I was in the UK during a specific 6 months period 25 years ago (and produced a school certificate from a little while later). There was no problem at all.

they seemed pretty strict with me... i guess it depends on the person interviewing you. wouldn't give me the license without proof.

I guess it also depends on whether the country whose licence you are using to get a HK licence is also the country of your birth/citizenship/etc.

The question is, why do you want to drive a car in Hong Kong?

Just come here, check out the public transport, enjoy our nice air pollution, have a look at the petrol and parking prices, then think again.

For the price of a covered carpark in our office building I could take the taxi for half of the month.

the reason = three words:

driving is fun

yup it most certainly does

surprisingly though, bangladesh is on the list of countries applicable to have a straight exchange... i was there a few months back and the drivers there can be quite... uhmmm... scary!
