need help - just left my boyfriend

I am a canadian lady living in Hong kong. I was living with my boyfriend but left him because the relation was getting really toxic.

Is there any association in Hong Kong to support single woman?


Money is a problem as my salary is not that high. Rent here is so expensive. I would like to stay close to my friends on HK Island side. I am in a hotel for the moment...


I would like to know how other women managed to leave their husband/BF. Please share your advices.

Thanks.

have a look at the Helena May house if you need a cheap place to live downtown. only single women can stay there

Looking at it, depends on what your salary is, I think its still kinda expensive!


You may be better off finding a small flat, as in REAL small, and renting it yourself. As long as you have the money for the deposit, I think you should be able to find something in the Sheung Wan/Sai Ying Pun area for around the same price as a single room at the Helena May.


What is your budget? It all depends on that, right.


Probably a good bet, which I came across on FB a while back (paid ads) was this one: http://www.wimdu.com/offers/search#!/city:Hong%20Kong/guests:1/lat:22.3058894/lng:114.1874381/country_iso:HK/distance:8/bounds:22.351407,114.2366569,22.2603355,114.1382194/


Almost like the idea of couchsurfing except that you pay. They have cheap options. Monthly charges could work out a lot cheaper than Helena May, but you will be hard pressed to find something real cheap in the Hong Kong island side.


(Sorry, without knowing what your salary is, for example, its hard to tell, 30-40K per month could be "low" to some but could be supporting a family of 4 in another instance)

Maybe see if there is a flatmate option available - that way there is no down payment and opens other doors -

Wow, there are some really affordable flatshares there! Totally worth sharing!
