    I guess its really best to just visit london rather than live there, lol...
    although getting around there is just as expensive, rip off london indeed, lol

    I've been to the most expensive city in the world!!!

    I remember moving back here after years in Hong Kong and thinking how cheap it was



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    yes HK can be expensive especially rent but london 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
