What would you miss about HK if you had to leave someday?

[HK2008]

Following up Aussiegal's 'what do you miss about home'(great thread BTW), I'd like to know what people would miss about HK if you had to leave here someday. This is more to convince myself to begin falling in love with HK as I'm still relatively new and can only think about the following:

1. low tax;
2. my helper.

Can people please share what you love about HK? Really appreciated.

 

[Buckeroo]

1) low tax
2) affordable help
3) efficient public transportation / well-connected 'systems'
4) easy access to dimsums, great food (both local and international cuisine)
5) you can get 'almost' anything here
6) being in the midst of a multicultural/international community

Some might disagree, but overall I find HK to be rather efficient in terms of getting things done.

since moving to sai kung, my list of what i miss has diminished somewhat...

found myself in melbourne recently lamenting the fact that my friend had a garden AND a playroom...then i stopped mid-sentence and said..."wait a minute... i have those things, too!"

what i'd miss about hk:
1) GOOD chinese food
2) our helper
3) our salaries (there is no way we'd make what we are making now, if we were in canada!)
4) easy short trips abroad
5) our helper
6) fresh seafood
7) our helper
8) good dumplings
9) our helper
10) owning my own business
11) did i mention our helper????
12) choosing your seat at the cinema WHILE YOU BUY YOUR TICKET!!! makes much more sense than the stupid n.american "run for it" mentality!
13) oh, yes.... our helper!
14) i'd be stupid not to include low taxes
