I have seen borderline non-functional human beings hold a NET job for years. You WILL do fine and you get paid a good amount of money. Only losers driver Ferraris, though. Look into Mazeratis or Bentleys.

Bloodnose posted:This is true for Hong Kong too, though not quite as severe. I pay for this stupid 100mbps connection and the fastest I get for foreign downloads and stuff is 20m. Speedtest usually even shows me getting 50m. Liars and cheats, PCCW! I get 10mb/s because I live in a village. PCCW is also RAISING prices for their already lovely product (here) they won't invest in out here. I literally have no other choice for an ISP.

Bloodnose posted:This is unacceptable and the primary reason I never eat at Cafe de Coral/Fairwood/Maxim. I'll never understand the Chinese way of stuffing a whole bony piece of meat in your mouth, sucking all the good stuff off and spitting the bone back out like a cartoon character. Why not just slice the meat off beforehand? A lot of the bad reviews I read about BBQ places here include the phrase "the meat just fell off the bone" as a con.

Bloodnose posted:Hong Kong is already full of giant blocks like that. We even have a huge estate of like 50 blocks that's called City One. I lived in city one when it was cool. Now it's an overpriced hell hole for hipsters and newlyweds whose parents put down payments down for them. There's probably ok people there too, though.

Ok here we go. One of my biggest beefs is people telling me I'm "wasting money" by renting an apartment and not buying it. Ok, not even considering the fact it's rude to presume somebody can "just buy" anything, it's also moronic that the two people who have said that to me cannot afford a house themselves. Mommy and daddy got it for them. This property market is probably the most insane thing I have ever seen. As an econ major I needed solid personal experiential evidence about required market intervention and this is it.

Bloodnose posted:I just can't believe nobody here gets it yet. There was some new ridiculous 'luxury' project that started selling in Hung Hom on Monday and there were still lines out the door to buy. This was mere hours after the HKMA said "please for the love of god stop buying things, the Fed is ending quantitative easing and you're all going to be poor." Four "luxury apartment" complexes are opening in Yuen Long with the first, called The Reach (I think because it sounds like 'Rich'), almost finished. The traffic is already a nightmare in rush hour and then all the rich people coming in bringing more cars will make it worse. I will also be laughing when it crashes because owners planning on staying in their homes will at least have a mortgage they could afford before whereas greedy landlords and developers who are trying to flip quick apartments for a profit will be left weeping. I'll be loving it if I can get a decent place for 1.5 mil that was going for 4 this year.

Bloodnose posted:Aren't all mortgages in Hong Kong adjustable rate though? Once QE stops and interest rates go up, there will be a lot of people totally hosed. Ok, if that's true then the fact that the standard down payment is 10% is even more hosed up. What the hell are you paying for by putting down such a punishing amount of cash on the barrel if you can still have your interest rate ratcheted up at any time? I'm going to have a stroke here.

Pro-PRC Laowai posted:Nah, it's just that there are almost always tricks to get where you're going and avoid the worst traffic, or at least minimize it. Protip: pay attention to where the cameras are and when you are cutting through traffic, plan your moves out far in advance so you're not just making pointless lane changes (like everyone else does). The side roads on the rings are also awesome if you use them with some strategy. I popped out to a client office the other day, 4th ring all red and yellow. About 15km or so, got there in under 20 minutes (including 4 or 5 red lights). So easy. Planning more than thirty seconds ahead when determining what lane you need to be in has not been reached on China's tech tree yet. HK driver: "Wow this lane is so slow ill move into the fast lane with 1km to my exit OHMYGOD MAKE WAY I'M CUTTING THREE LANES AND OVER THE PAINTED DIVIDER TO GET IN THE EXIT! I sure am a clever driver."
