Everywhere is safe. Expats live all over HK. If the company pays for your relocation then move stuff, otherwise buy new here.

don't bring anything. apart from maybe chapatis, everything in terms of equipment is usually cheaper here than india.

10k is not a big budget. you could get 400 sqf in/around north point, though around there i would rather recommend fortress hill or tin hau. or alternatively hang hau/tseung kwan o as you have a quick mtr connection to work.

Tung Chung also has a rapidly growing Indian population, over 700 hundred families and counting....

Not for much longer, The government want to turn TST into commercial property through rezoneing so residents have to move out eventually.

Yup Tung Chung is where the Indian families are moving to.
