And one thing I don't get is why people think an hr commute is such a deal breaker anyway. You guys all spend so much time on geoexpat... you know you can access that while you sit on a bus. Or you can read a newspaper. Or you can do some work on your laptop. Or you can read a book. Or you can phone someone. Or you can write emails.
It's like HK is full of children who can't handle an hr alone without moaning "muuum, daaad, I'm boooored"... especially when people go and quadruple their rent (or more) in the name of an extra 20 mins in bed.
