Grateful for your insight on:
1. Place to stay - I do not mind a little commute (say 45mins or less). I have already wrapped my head around the fact that the accommodation in HK is way smaller than the usual sizes across the globe. I also don't feel like spending too much on accommodation, just somewhere I can sleep and read books after work.
2. Food - It's a bit hard really to gauge how much must be allocated for food per month, as the internet provides a very wide range! Personally guys, how much do you spend per month (for yourself) on food?
3. Transpo - I've already been to HK but it was just for tourist-y stuff. I have not really explored the other options for commuting (if need be)
4. Culture - Are there things that I must bear in mind with respect to the culture in HK?
Really appreciate your response, guys.
God bless.
