Teaching English in Hong Kong

Teachers' advice / Hong Kong


  • quote  Working in Hong Kong will be an enjoyable experience overall. The students are pleasant and better behavaed than in England/western Europe. They are eager to learn and have a great sense of humour. Many youngsters have a basic grasp of English. There are many expats in HK and British/Irish pubs and bars. The food is great but if you go to a nice restaraunt expect to pay western prices. They have a great underground rail system the MTR which is cheap, punctual and popular. Taxis are also very cheap for short hops. Rent can be high though due to the lack of flat land. Expect to be in a 30 storey apartment building unless you've got money. Crime is very low. Best places for entertainment are Wanchai and Causeway Bay and Kowloon. Be careful of street merchants "copy rolex" and "cheap suits sir" A great place overall, Better than South Korea that's for sure."
