Hey Maggie, welcome to Hong Kong

I'm a fellow Singaporean. Been here since mid feb 2004. Came here jobless and took quite a while, 3 months I think, to find a job. But was worth it when I found a job in MNC with a good pay package. So, don't give up Maggie! Use your language skills to your advantage. Being able to speak good mandarin and english would be an advantage.

But be prepared of the culture shock. HongKong is vastly differently from Singapore. Come with the right expectations and an open mind.

Can we start a new discussion thread? This one has taken more twists and turns than the last season of 24.
