Great IMO until you try and buy things (I know it's cheaper than Vancouver in general but not for rent) and try going to school there.
I liked my last year of high school better in Canada than in HK-I got better marks and I don't even think I did as much work, and I don't think it's gotten much better with pregnancy tourism there (I'll stay there for 2 months in order to almost guarantee labour over there-real quote I heard from a woman on the subway in Mandarin)
