dojetdriver,
People used to say that about CAL... I haven't heard any seriously negative stuff in a long time, like 10 years or so.
I had one visit to HK, fifteen years ago. Didn't like it very much. And that was just a quick vacation. But the bills keep piling up, and the advertised pay is more than I could honestly hope to make anywhere in the US for over a decade.
Otto, have you been there? Anyone else? Its got to have good/bad points. Is there enough good for the money to outweigh the bad?
