Hi everyone,
I have received (and accepted) a job offer to work at a fashion tech business in Wan Chai from early Jan and my partner and I will be moving out to HK around the same time (from London). I also received an offer in Kuala Lumpur for a different business which I ultimately rejected in favour of the HK role. A lot of this decision was to do with the city - we are not moving for money; it's to be in a great base from which to explore Asia, to enjoy the food, enjoy the city and be amongst the culture and beautiful natural surroundings etc.
At the time I had the two job offers, the situation in HK was large scale protests but very peaceful and orderly, and not really violent at al. I am wondering seriously whether, given the deterioration of the situation recently, people believe it's still the right decision to move here at this time? The UK media makes the situation look quite severe but of course there is always the incentive of the media to dramatise situations somewhat so perhaps this should also be taken into account?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
