So long and thanks for the fish!

Had enough of the promise of better air quality, I'm leaving! After living here most of my adult life, I've decided I've had enough of the government's attitude to air pollution and it's latest farcical air quality objectives. I'm no longer willing to put my family's health at risk in the vain hope that things will improve. So as soon as I've saved up enough we're off. So long and thanks for the fish (and the asthma, bronchitis and all the other respiratory problems, hopefully I'll avoid the brain aneurysm.)

Good luck to you! Many have left for the very same reason and unless something is done about the vile pollution here many more will follow. Especially those who are responsible for not only their own health but their children's.

Thanks, It's my responsibility to look after my family, health before wealth as my father always says. I just wish the government would take it's responsibility seriously as well. I know of many families who have departed for the same reasons and plenty more contemplating leaving too. It's a shame as many are involved in community projects etc and love to give back.

Some would say "Good riddance" to people with HP's attitude. To worf - why wait till u save up, go now for your health.

I don't think "hello people" has an attitude... just his/her experience and opinion of the place. I've been here 6.5 years and if it wasn't for the bloody good salary, I'd've been long gone. Having come from the green countryside with fresh air and blue skies to an air polluted, noise polluted, severly overpopulated place I won't be sad or sorry to see the back of Hong Kong.

It's impossible for me to live the same lifestyle as back home because county living and city living are entirely different. A lot of people stay here because of the money. They have no family connections as 99.9% of my workmates and friends have no family here. Each to their own.

Devon - guess what, you have the same attitude. If you'd never moved here, would you have gotten the same experiences, could afford the same luxuries, etc??? So, if you're money grubbing on one hand, you have to pay the devil on the other.
