Nicolas:

    I worked and lived in Hong-Kong for 5 years, from 1995 to 2000. I was
    working in a Gemstone company as a sales person and traveling to
    Europe and the US. I was making around US$ 80,000 per year
    (including commission). I was traveling so intensively that most of
    my expenses were paid by the company. I was 3 weeks home and 5 to 6
    weeks away. and still I didn't save any money. It was just enough to
    live well. There is not much to do in HKG after a while except going
    out for drink and dinner and of course shopping is a must in every
    day life of a Honk-konger. 

    The price of living is really high in Hong-Kong. Rent is expensive
    especially if you want to live in a nice neighborhood. The kitchens
    are really small so you will probably eat out most of the time. 

    Most companies offer medical insurance. 

    I am sure in 5 years the price of living went up. 

    I am not sure if this is going to help you or not. 

    Hong-Kong is a fascinating and really exciting city to live in. I
    wish you the best of luck. Get ready to be amazed.
