Comments on possible problems with health of a very young child re the poloution would also be appreciated.

Geane,

Is the housing allowance per month or per annum? If the latter, it gives you 13500/month - on the low side for a western style place away from the island (according to my reasearch). I am considering Sai Kung, Tseung Kwan O and the like for the realtively better air (I hear) and cheaper rents. I have seen decent two bedrooms advertised for 8-13k there in new estates, and village houses in the same range (these are still falts, really).

650,000 per annum is hard to comment on--income expectations and needs are so subjective. Check this for info/comparisons:

Good luck!
John
