    Great video and very spot on about prices and procedure. But I could not walk 15-20 mins to work in the summer because I would literally need a shower (or look like i had one) from all the sweating i would be doing...

    The apartments are so very small. Don't they have building codes to require minimum sizes/features? As for subdivided apartments they would be illegal in many places. Glad their building out in the N.T. since better units there. Yes another vlog on the apartment. Enjoyed thank you.

      Yes the governemnt just updated their building codes in 2022 and units now need to be more than 280sqft. Subdivided apartments are illegal in Hong Kong but we have a housing crisis due to the high cost of rental so the governemnt has to turn a blind eye.

    How much was the 1 BR apartment in Monti? That one looked so nice and specious

    • @JessBeyondHorizon
      @JessBeyondHorizon  29 днів тому

      That 1br was for sale and not rent. But I assume it'll be around 16-18k depending on floor.

      @@JessBeyondHorizon How I got rid of mine. A Chinese herbalist said I had a gluten intolerance. I eliminated a lot of grains, but not all and the condition got better, but lingered. Finally I decided to stop it all (gluten) and a week later it began to clear up. My herbalist was a graduate of a Beijing traditional medicine university. My western allergy doctor never stopped telling me how I had to take steroids all my life. Glad I tried an herbalist and finally listened. I did the whole nine yards of herbalist treatment. brewed the dry herbs in a pot of water for 4 hrs. until reduced. Liked it as it tasted like strong black coffee.

    Is there anyone here who can tell me what the average cost of living is in HK?
    for example, I know what kind of apartment I can get for HKD20,000, but how much is the additional fee for, for example, a single person who eats normally, sometimes wants to travel by taxi, take a bus or sometimes spend money on something else. Will it be an additional cost of HKD10,000 or maybe another HKD20,000? Is it really all that expensive?

    • @JessBeyondHorizon
      @JessBeyondHorizon  9 місяців тому

      For 20k you can get a nice new one bedroom or older two bedroom on the island. You should probably budget around 15-20k for expenses. Depends if you eat out and drink and have happy hours etc. Then there's vacationing around Asia etc.
