Hong Kong cheap?
On the real? Maybe if you just do it right?
Anyways, all the rest look legit. Would make for a good starting list while you build up an online biz.
HKG could definitely be done on the cheap if you book through Airbnb or get a private hostel room, which would be of high quality not to mention safe.
Lot of the street food, grocery stores, restaurants and shopping could be done at great bargain prices too. One can take public transportation into the city via the metro and then a cheaper cab to your hotel at the final stop.
On the flip side,
HKG is also a very fun & rewarding place to bleed money as that's where it can get expensive if you want to go out, party, and eat at even more glamorous restaurants while staying in a super lit up pad/hotel.
For clothes shopping, it's a great place to get high quality suits and other name brands you might not be able to find in say North America, Europe, or other parts of Asia.
For those living there, yeah I could see the commercial and residential rent prices to be very pricey though it's at least a great place to make $$ too with all the opportunities there.
The internet cost calculator might rate HK as a place that's say for example more $$ than Rio de Janeiro though I just think HK is a much better value for what you pay.
