I received my first month's electricity bill today and guess how much it cost ? $35 honkie dollars! Can you believe it ? I'm quite suprised how cheap living in HK can be. It cost me less than $6 honkie on the mtr one way to work. Thats like $1 aussie. So return.. only 2 bucks!! How great is that !
From memory, the M2 bus from my house to North Sydney return costed me $12.50 aussie return AND driving from my house to Chatswood around $40 per week in petrol cost.
My lunches now consist of $10 honkie won-ton and or fish ball noodles. Occasionally i have a $5 pineapple bun with butter inside.. yummmo.... I also have $22 honkie beef brisket noodles and $25 bbq pork rice. I've had $45 sandwiches from nice cafe's that come as set meal with a drink & soup! What a bargain hey ? hehe =)
I've been told a $45 lunch is expensive.. but to me, its already cheap cheap cheap esp when it comes with a yummy iced lemon tea or a nice strong iced milk tea and soup!!
Now I wonder what my water bill will come to ?
Revolves around a sparkling world of small to big things that happen and love sharing the way I think with the people who are in my life. I believe laughter and eating yummy desserts is the best tool for stress relief.

keke how come everything is so cheap for you? my elec bill is at least $100.. and where do you find noodles for $10 in central?
ps water bill wont come coz if you dont use over a limit its free.. i have never seen one for the 1 yr that i have been here.
My electric bill is much more then that! But I guess it's pro-rata so it'd be more normal next month.
If you're earning an Aussie wage (net) then, yes, HK has much cheaper living. (I'm spending $30 on food for 2 for a whole day nowadays, cooking myself)
you're luckier in that there's no management fee.
And yes, WHERE DO YOU FIND $10 food in Central?!?! I spend at least $30 when I eat in central!
