Thank You Richard. I was wondering if there was a point I was not seeing. Sometimes, it is necessary to tell me what I am reading. Chen uses very good logic & information in illustrating the potential competitiveness of the areas mentioned. Especially to an international company that is trying to maximize efficiency without maximizing labor costs also. While I have never been to the various countries mentioned, I wonder if there are other advantages in HK, such as the presence of other multi-national companies, well developed infrastructure & (soon) access to new International airport facilities that might offset the basic salary discrepancy? While this is a lousy comparison for country, I offer the difference between my employer & myself. He is from New York. He likes living in a Metropolitan environment. He goes to Chicago, or back to New York for frequent visits. He enjoys it. I am the opposite. When I moved to my present location 12 years ago, there was only one other house visible. And that was in the winter when the trees had no leaves. It was still at least a Kilometer away. Now, there are 8-10 homes visible in the winter. I am feeling very "crowded". I forget the conversion to Hectacres from acres, but my 22 acres just isn't enough for privacy, anymore. I am considering moving to a less populated area. I do not mean to say one is correct & one is not. Humans are different. Some are like the OX, the Gazelle, or the deer. They enjoy traveling in large herds and being close together. I am like the Tiger, I like my territory. (However, I have not "marked" the boundaries of my territory the way a Tiger would. I could get poison ivy in very embarrassing places trying to do that! <G>) Doug
