Re: Transporting Funds
Well virtual or cash... But I suspect it would not be wise to take upwards of $10,000 CAD in cash ahah- So I should go to HK, open a bank account then virtually transfer my money? I could of course take a smaller amount in cash for the first few weeks.

Re: Hong Kong- Comfortable Salary
Thank you for your input!
I am a new teacher- just graduating, so at the very base of the grid. The school is also on the island so I want to be somewhat close- which could mean higher housing! I appreciate any and all information :)

Hong Kong- Comfortable Salary
I have received an offer from a school in Hong Kong. I am concerned about the cost of living and an wondering what a comfortable monthly salary would be for a family- assuming that no housing is provided (or that included a housing allowance).
We do not live largely by any manner, however do not want to be stressed about getting food on the table.
I have never traveled to Hong Kong but I hear that not only housing but everything is very expensive. Any information would be appreciated!!

Dependents
Hello!
I am wondering when to mention dependents. I know that some schools care, others do not. Obviously when an application form is provided, I include them in the requested spot. However I have sent in a number of resumes and cover letters and have multiple interviews this week- should I have included dependents in my cover letter? I don't want to waste anyone's time (mine or theirs) if dependents are not even considered. I still need to reply to a few of the interview requests, so should I mention it in my next email? Or wait until the interview.
Thanks!
