yes HK can be expensive especially rent but london :yikes::yikes::yikes: and as for the tube versus MTR no contest the MTR is incredibly cheap (less than £1.OO acrooss the length of the island line, ALWAYS runs on time, always spotless and is easy to follow on the illuminated on train system maps.

when I was corporate there my company were paying 35000HKD AT 13HK to 1GBP Ffor 1200 sq ft 3 bed in mid levels. Once a joined a company on a non ex pat contract I moved to Kennedy Town and still paid 20000HKD for 950 sq ft but at least in stand alone building on 52nd floor directly on harbour front.

Agreed the MRT in Manila can be scary at times
