Well obviously the house will be quite a bit smaller, and noisier, and dirtier/stinkier,

but other than that...

is it even possible? Maybe for those who moved back to HK for an extended period of time, what can you do to maintain the Vancouver lifestyle?

作者: Littleprince 時間: 2010-1-25 11:33

I think 住響愉景灣 ETC。同 VAN 差不多嘛﹖我響 HK 時一定要找杯美國咖啡 (發晒狂周圍找誓要找到那種)﹐慣左﹐無法﹐除此之外﹐我覺得一切一切都比呢邊好 (特別係行街買野同食宵夜喇)

Make $200K a month

I am living in Van, and I can't even stand for the noise from the construction site outside. I can't imagine how I can survive in HK anymore..

What is exactly... "Vancouver lifestyle"?

Something like...
Everyday 9-5 working hour Monday to Friday, and have your own personal time on the weekends.
Own a car...
Live in a relatively bigger place...
Enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, snowboarding/skiing?

It's a matter of "get used to it"...
When you close the window...open air con... you won't hear those "noise"...

so probably you should move back?

Working in office. Already close all windows, and turn on the radio loud.

The noise outside still come in.. it's so annoying..

Sigh..

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2010-1-25 12:14

Maybe I should clarify, the goal is not how to maintain the vancouver lifestyle, but maybe what can one do specifically to ease the transition period, and maybe eventually get used to the HK lifestyle?

and do you you resist transforming into one of them (native HK ppl)? If you do, why? and how?

I think these are interesting questions to ask. Love to listen to your comments, pls join in.

It's like marriage.
I won't marry whoever a gal first, and then see if I will love her after married. But I will make sure I love the gal, and then marry her.
If I know I don't "love" HK (or whichever a place), I won't go there and try if I would love it later on. I don't have much time to waste like that.

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2010-1-25 12:54

There are a lot of factors that effect one's decision of where to stay, love or not love a place might be the most important to you, but not to everyone else.

If this is not the most important issue, you should have the more important issue overwhelmed it la, and this would become less concern.

perhaps better do it after retirement? coz I have a decent job, nice house and nice car here wor

so hard to make the decision ar... would people be easily to give up a decent job and start to look for another job in HK?

I think it would be easier if I am under 25 yrs old now...

huh? then don't. I don't like hockey neither. That's not part of the lifestyle, just the culture.

btw, stop stealing my thread you little.. prince!

1# ACC-HE

What exactly you define Vancouver lifestyle?
Relaxing, quiet sleep, driving to the corner store, freedom of doing dope,
too much time to waste, complaining the government, collecting supermarket coupon,
skipping school, skiiing, hockey night..............????

如何活得寫意 @ HK without tons of dough?

How is this for a question?

作者: fibbi 時間: 2010-1-25 14:38

I think it's much harder to adjust living in Van ... than adjusting mindset to live in HK...
Of course...I assume that you "came" from HK not born here...

But...if you want to 活得寫意, why move back? HK is known for fast pace life....
If you want relax...no point to move back...

well...it's a matter of time...

I am not the kind of people who can fall asleep very easily...but still...when I was in HK, I can sleep with the construction noise, mini-bus passing by, police car passing by....to me...those noise even has 親切感... then when I come here... the dead silence even makes my ears feel weird...

我在香港又係好嘈都訓得著﹐但係反而呢邊習慣左靜﹐少少聲音都可以令我扎醒。。。

等同煙味﹐我覺得響呢邊係被 SPOILED﹐DD 煙味都唔受得。。。但響日本或香港時﹐週時都聞到煙味﹐我又無響呢邊聞到時那麼反感窩

Well...for me...the only thing I can't get used to is the smoke smell...
When I go to HK...I really can't stand the smoke smell ...especially in the restaurant...
My nose complained right away..

In Japan... I'd rather stand in the middle of the bullet train for 3 hours to avoid the smoking smell...

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2010-1-25 16:56

I don't think you really can live the Vancouver life style in hk.
I think it's prob easier to adjust to the HK life style if u have to move back. Then work REALLY hard for a few years. I can see some of my friends who moved back 5+ years ago having some Vancouver style life finally.
Playing golf on weekends, owning a car and a 1000 sq ft place, enjoying potluck/house party. But still, they need to travel to Japan/Korean for snow sports and south east asia for water sports.
I think the only cheap outdoor activity in HK is hiking and the beaches. (surfing prob is better there)

If you want Vancouver style living, better move to Shanghai or Beijing, as they are not as crowded as Hong Kong. Plenty of nice highways, if you like to drive around the country. They have nice golf courses and natural beauty within easy reach. For people who want winter spots, they can go to north eastern China, and for summer water sports, they can go to Hainan island.

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2010-1-25 20:43

This is nonsense. Vancouver has Vancouver living/life style, Shanghai has Shanghai living/life style.... etc. If to say Vancouver also has a Shanghai-like living/life style or Shanghai has a Vancouver living/life style, why not just simply stay in that place?!
