daiwai ... there is a member on this forum call 'newintown' she is from HK and her hubby from scotland. I think her hubby have live in HK for many yeears before they both decided to move here. I have met them both ... why dont you PM them and ask about her opinion about HK vs Doha?

I only been to HK as a tourist, never actually living there ... so dont think i can help you much.
