Hi Everyone,
I was pointed here by a friend of mine currently in HK who's trying to get me to move over there to teach English. Here's my situation, I'm currently at a job that is filled with great co-workers and in a beautiful region of the US but holds relatively little appeal for a long-term career. The pay isn't great but the workplace environment helps make-up for it.
Aside from needing to decide which direction I want my career to go, I have a job offer to teach at an English school (my friend's sister owns the place) for roughly $19k HKD/month (usual 13 month pay schedule). Is that enough to get by/save some cash if I'm living either alone (studio) or with a roomie, eat local cuisine, and don't really drink much? I have no idea what utilities will run but I know cell phones and food are relatively cheap... The school is around Tsuen Wan (but anything close to an MTR station is preferred).
Thanks for your help!
