Telegraph - World's top ten places to live, Jan 07, 2012
 |
"Hong Kong
A dynamic, sometimes frantic city, with apartments that are distinctly small and usually 30 or 40 floors up. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Hong Kong is exciting yet safe, and a 30-minute ferry ride from the city centre will take you to tranquil spots such as Lamma Island.Hong Kong is not really somewhere to put your feet up, but a city to enjoy while your energy levels are at their maximum.
It is best to get the lie of the land by renting first, advises Mitchell Lewis of Christie’s International Real Estate’s Asia Pacific region. “You’re looking at £5-6,000 for a reasonable place to rent per month. If you’re buying, it is £800,000 for an apartment on a lower floor, and about £1.25 million for a higher floor. But you need to hold your nerve. Hong Kong is renowned for drastic market swings.”

Honduras Among World's Top Retirement Havens, Jan 07, 2012
"IIn the United States today, the discussion about retirement orbits around how much less of it we’re all going to have. While the cost of everything from healthcare to food swells… incomes, pensions and nest eggs erode, leaving baby boomers fewer and fewer options for retirement at home. But look at the right places beyond our borders today, and you’ll find you have more good choices than ever for a comfortable -- even a pampered -- retirement. In any one of our top 19 havens for 2012, a lifestyle well beyond your reach in the States could be yours for pennies on the dollar. In this, our annual Global Retirement Index, we bring you the top choices available on the planet today. From beachfront hideaways to arts-rich colonial cities, from cosmopolitan capitals to small highland villages, there’s an overseas haven to fit your fantasy… and your budget. For our Retirement Index, we only measure the very best havens against one other. So the country last on our list is still the 19th best in the world."
