Recently, Hong Kong has been ranked as the 43rd most livable city in the world by EIU, surpassing Singapore (46th) and Taipei (60th). However, if you look at the World Happiness Report by United Nations, Hong Kong (70th) falls behind Singapore (22nd) and Taiwan (35th).

​Hong Kong seems to be a safe harbour theres days when comparing to Turkey with a recent coup attempt and Britian where people face the Brexit issue. As a Turkish, Mustafa have been living in UK before moving to Hong Kong with his family 4 years ago. He did not move because he can foresee the bad things that would happen in those two countries. Rather, he moved for a new experience in life for him and his family. However, Mustafa now finds risks for his children's development as they are growing up in Hong Kong.

​Hong Kong used to be called as a cultural desert but the city has actually transformed into an art hub in Asia during the past few few years. We can date back to 2013 when Art Basel launched its inaugural show in Hong Kong. And in 2016, Art Basel attracted more than 70,000 visitors from various countries in 5 days. The tickets were sold out on the last day afternoon. At the same time, Art Central logged over 32,000 visitors. This trend has helped Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze to establish his photographer career in Hong Kong and many of us to rediscover this city.

Hong Kong and Singapore are often referred as two of the "Four Asian Tigers".  It is common to see comparison between Hong Kong and Singapore as both places are metropolitan and expensive to live in.  While some people feel the life in both places is similar, we often see comments that Hong Kong lagged behind Singapore in both economic growth and living qualities.

Recently I met some friends who consider moving out from Hong Kong, and actually they are not the minority in Hong Kong.

They quoted rising costs of living, political disputes, social conflicts among groups and few other things as the major reasons. This leads to more and more youngsters applying for working holiday programs to have few months to one year of experience in another country.
