“Where in Hong Kong should I live?” is the title of a blog entry I was reading yesterday. Considering the price and the relative ease one can start a business in Hong-Kong, we have been thinking of living for a while in Hong-Kong. If we check the price for an apartment in Tokyo and compare it to Hong-Kong, there is not that much of a difference. Also it is much easier as a foreigner to rent in Hong-Kong than in Japan.
Yes, the Inaka life is not for now and even Japan will have to wait at least 3 years. But in the meantime we are considering our options. As long as the job gets done, there is almost no limitation in location for my job as a web strategist. My clients are always satisfied and I can always manage my project with my partners with the usual ease the internet offer us.
To go back to the subject of living in Hong-Kong, we figured that the rent would be the same as in Vancouver and that we would enjoy more the highly urbanised lifestyle of the main island. The rent will be higher but we will save on transportation cost. I really hate using a car and that’s the most depressing part of living in Canada.
