Hong Kong, only about work

Hong Kong, only about work?
I hear one who lives in Hong Kong, will spend 90% of their time working, is it possible to live in Hong Kong and work normally and enjoy the rest of your time? Thank you.

The competition there is a lot greater than the US, so those in Hong Kong who want to get ahead in life really have to work ALL of the time it seems. It's not survival of the fittest but survival of the smartest. As for wanting to work 'normally' and have a good life, working for a global business, like Nikon or IBM is the best bet.

IF you are that lucky to have such an understanding boss, too bad in HK, it's almost impossible, be it the expats nor the locals. If you find one who really cares about their staff well-being, let me know. Most (shall I say 99.9999%) of the bosses won't care as long as they get whatever they watned on their desk. My other friend, European boss, ask the staff to have all presentations on desk by 0845 the next morning, this request was made at 1845 the evening before. When my friend said she has an urgent appointment, boss said, "of course, by all means go home, just give these to me by 0845 tomorrow morning!!" Forgot to mention, this presentation took about 5 hours to finish. Anyway, most of the staff from this department work from 0845 - 2300, five day a week. Some even has to come back during the weekends, Saturdays & Sundays. One more thing, this is an European company.

You have to take your helper to the British Consulate in Central to apply for the U.K. visa, as for the Schengen visa, because it would allow you to travel through Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden etc., you have to apply for the Schengen visa at one of the above country's consulate in Hong Kong. It is advised that it is better to apply in the country where you plan to stay the longest but from what I heard, the French Embassy can be difficult. You can also check out this site: http://www.eurovisa.info. Best of luck because Indonesian Passport can be problematic but if you hit a wall in one consulate, go to another one immediately. Best of luck !

live/work in Hong Kong or Japan

live/work in Hong Kong or Japan?
I have really wanted to live in Japan and know alot about the culture and the simple language as well as Haragana. But I know that the Japanese are not too keen for foreigners (nor is any country really but you get the jist) So I was thinking about my career/life to go to Hong Kong as it would be easier for me to speak for they know more English than they do in Japan so I could learn while I'm there. Please help me pick the correct place to set my goals to. This isn't just a fantasy or what ever I have thought this through and I just need help on this part my dreams were already quite crushed but Hong Kong is not too bad. Just have to start again that's all. Please give me a honest but not mean answer please. Thank You Four year degree ? not yet I'm still in high school

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in. Anyone living in HK must have an appropriate income to support themself. A tiny apartment in Kowloon costs HK$10,000 (US$1,300) per month. An equally tiny apartment on HK Island costs HK$20,000 (US$2,600) per month. Foreigners are required to have a long term visa in order to reside to HK. A HK employment visa is only issued to professionals sponsored by their HK employer. Education, skills, and work experience drive the employment decision. Engineers, architects, lawyers, and other professionals may be able find suitable employment in HK. Foreign drifters with no university degree, no professional license, and no money do not belong in Hong Kong.

If you wanna study oversea, Hong Kong is great! It's true that some appartments are pretty expensive whereas there are also some cheaper choice. The price is just depense on where you live. If you come to Hong Kong for study, I don't think you have to live is a large apartment (some internetional schools has its own dorms for students actually). Some apartments may cost about $5,000-$7,000HKD per month. As you experienced in Japan, Japanese are with strong national consciousness. Most of them are disdained to speak or even to learn English. Thus, you should have a great problem in communicating with Japanese if you're not very good at Japanese. On the other hand, though not all of Hong Kong people are very good at English, most of them can speak base English. Thus, it's easy for you to get into Hong Kong though you can't speak Cantonese or Mandrain. Of course, to experience a local Hong Kong life, you better know some basic Chinese. Here's the link of Hong Kong Immigration Department for information about studing in Hong Kong. Hope it helps. http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/id996.htm

It might depend entirely on the profession or career of your choice. Anyone can give comparisons for the two places and it would be endless, so perhaps what you would want to do is to narrow down your own career options and see which place has a better chance of improving your skills. One example would be drawing and graphics design, Hong Kong might have some good graphic design companies but Japan is known to be a powerhouse in many animated characters and such creativities. So in this case, I would suggest pursuing a career in Japan. Likewise, you can use this concept.
6 :
Hong Kong is surely more suitable and a convenient place for foreigners. But as you're so much fond of Japanese culture, it's not bad idea to stay there for a while and see how you can adapt to the country. Regarding which place is more expensive, I would say both are about the same.
