HK education system has the US system beat, is a fact. This statement is very very silly ! :0)))) I think you are in denial of something. Face the facts. Not misleading of information.

I had never heard a thing as silly as HK real estate hopes are pinned on domestic helpers' wage/savings. Think about it and see how silly, laughably so, the logic is. I am not saying the 3rd world low-skill workers come to HK and buy house right away. But some of their living condition in HK isn't anywhere near what they dream of before they come. Some servants ended up stealing stuff in home where they served. And sitting on sidewalks in Central during weekends isn't an attraction at all for HK. The fact is more and more people cannot afford a house in HK, and the hype of getting rich fast in HK would prompt more and more low-skill (or soon to be out of job) workers coming & put heavy burden to HK government treasuries. Of course, this hype will benefit you as a homeowner for the moment. But at the end, you'll see my logic is correct.

As long as HK remains to be the prime playing platform for globalized liquidity, which I suppose it to maintain and to gain momentum, and as a personal note, I love the place in this respect, HK does not need to worry about affordability of most abstract things. Andy Xie is "of courage," but not enough to have spoken on HK. One concern for HK is the dynamics of liquidity itself. Enjoy the tug of war there! Arran P.S.: China Mingshen Banking Corp., at least those branches in Wuhan, sucks! So damn in effective, although they appear to be cheap at the surface. Again, this puts me back in loving HK more.
