When I first moved here I was VERY tempted by a second-hand Canterbury - they sounded so clean and clear in the near-field. But when I first got here I was so broke it wasn't funny.
I was $60,000 in student loans and other debt (2011) and I didn't know that the deposit was so crazy high. The rent was $1500 but here you need to give two and half months rent in deposit - the half is an agent fee you don't get back! So I had to come up with over $5,000 in cash. Plus I had to pay for the flight to Hong Kong (to be reimbursed but not for several months).
I had to have my employer give me an advance to be paid back over 6 months. By the time I had the money and enough for a bigger apartment of course the Canterbury's were gone. Still, no regrets. And very happy and lucky I moved here. No way would I own any of this audio stuff or paid off the student loans on a Canadian teacher salary. I am happy Hong Kong kept up with inflation.
