Cantonese Lesson - Housing Price in Hong Kong

English:

A: Hi Michael, How long have you been living in Hong Kong?

B: I have been living here for almost 2 years.

A: I have many friends who cannot afford to buy a house here. Did you buy a house in Hong Kong?

B: No, the housing price in Hong Kong is just too high, and foreigners need to pay an extra 15% tax if you want to buy a house in Hong Kong.

A: That is so expensive, it makes the situation worse, so you are renting a apartment here?

B: Yes, that is the only solution for now.
