I'm moving to Hong Kong in January for work and study and was wondering if any of you guys has ever lived there? Any advice, which areas are better than others, practical things...

My office will be in a suburb called Kwun Tong which is in Kowloon-anyone know it? I guess I hope to find a place to stay in that area, to cut down of travelling times, costs etc. I have heard its a less expensive part of Hong Kong, but I wonder what its like....

Any ideas or hints appreciated
