		<description><![CDATA[In Sunday&#8217;s South China Morning Post I was not surprised to read that Western expatriates were asking for a premium to move to Hong Kong. This was particularly true if they were already based in Singapore. Two reasons were given: pollution and high rents. Now that the SARS crisis has faded into a distant memory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the last entry in the series. Up to now it&#8217;s pretty much been a tie between the two cities. I haven&#8217;t said anything about economics because I&#8217;ve been retired for a few years. However, Hong Kong does appear to have an edge for businesses, especially manufacturing because of it being so near China. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fourth in a continuing series. There are just a few other comparisons between the two places that need to be made. One is the ease with which people can move around the city. Singapore has wide streets that make walking a pleasure. Hong Kong&#8217;s streets, on the other hand, are usually narrow and overcrowded. Strolling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Evidently tourism authorities are worried that budget tour operators are ruining Hong Kong&#8217;s reputation as a desirable destination. The prices of many tours, especially from the mainland, are less than the actual cost to the tour operator. So how does the tour operator make any money: by insuring that visitors spend a good part of [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s his comment: I&#8217;m 22 male from the Philippines and just graduated college. I would like to move to hong kong. I&#8217;m an actor and model but also have a business degree from a top university here. I have chinese-spanish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Calling a law that requires employers to justify what they are offering to overseas employees an &#8220;anti-racism&#8221; law has me confused. Anything that benefits one race over another is by definition racist. The proposed law would not allow an employer to offer generous benefits such as housing, education, etc. unless they can prove that such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was just announced that there are 274,000 Millionaires in Hong Kong. Now there is always the problem of defining what a millionaire is. In Vietnam if you buy US$63.00 worth of local currency, the Dong, you will be a millionaire. In Hong Kong they defined it as having HK$1,000,000 (US$128,200) of liquid assets. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s (Feb. 17, 2006) HK Magazine had an article titled &#8220;How To Stretch Your Miserably Small Budget.&#8221; You can download it from their site and read the article yourself. One of the places that isn&#8217;t mentioned, unfortunately, has the best Happy Hour on Hong Kong Island, in my opinion. I&#8217;m talking about Carnegie&#8217;s, G/F [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the local Beauty Shop chains, Modern Beauty Salon Holdings, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange yesterday. After opening it fell 20% before a small recovery to -10%. Evidently the company&#8217;s listing information was inaccurate in the area of customer complaints. They said 200+ complaints for the last year and the actual [...]]]></description>

I received the following comments from Hamlet Lin which put a different perspective on some of my previous comments about the cost of living in Hong Kong. Our [...]]]></description>
