Hong Kong. I lived it and loved it. Can’t wait to go back! What a vibrant, happening city. There is something for everyone – city, sea, beach, shopping, sports. Unbelievable!
We shopped like crazy for new toys – a Nintendo Wii with all the accessories, an eeePC from Asus (mini laptop), sonicare toothbrushes, clothes for the DH and I, food… We spent an hour wondering around a gourmet supermarket with our tongues hanging out, oohing and aahing like peasants at all the selection. (Cheese! Spices! Coffee! Wine! Gourmet treats!)
We explored the city, visited the Peak, ate delicious seafood on Lamma Island, took a day ferry to Macao (where the DH lost some Euros at the Venetian casino), experienced some nightlife and visited with new friends.
I’d move there tomorrow if an opportunity came up.
I’m back in Linyi now, after visiting the dentist in Shanghai for a partial root canal. That was not a good experience. Of course, I’m still swamped with tons of work to catch up on. I’ll be back when I can!

How much does eeePC cost?
Depends on a few factors:
4GB SSD or 8GB SSD
Windows or Linux
We got the 8GB Linux version and we paid 3800 HKD

Really getting a Job in HongKong is really not difficult, if you are
really serious about it. There are many Blogs maintained by
Expats Living in HongKong.
Especially since you was a Nurse before.
There are many International Hospitals catering for Expats in HongKong
American, British and European Funded and Managed Hospitals.
Like all places in the world there always shortages of Nurses.
HongKong are flooded with Tycoons and there are
many Private Jets and Flying Schools.
Good Luck to you, if you finally decide to move to HongKong
