Some passport-sized photos (necessary for gym memberships, HK visa extensions, and visas for travel around Asia, to name just a few things)
|
|
Money. Ideally, cash, travelers checks, credit and ATM cards |
|
Medicine. Hong Kong's pharmacies are well-stocked, but if you require prescription medication or prefer specific brands, bring it along with you. |
|
Appropriate clothing. Remember, it gets chilly in winter, rainy in summer, and warm the rest of the time. Pack accordingly. Also, while Hong Kong is a fashion capital, women here dress more conservatively than in most western countries. |
|
A converter/adapter for your shaver or blow drier. Hong Kong uses 220v outlets, usually with 3 rectangular prongs. Older ones are different, with three circular ones. |
|
Bedding. Some foreigners never get used to the blanket-wrapped-in-a-sheet under which Hong Kongers sleep. Plus, nobody wants to be without a pillow on their first night in town. |
|
Personal items. Enough deodorant and toothpaste for your first few weeks, pictures of your family, your favorite stuffed animal... whatever you need to be comfortable in your new surroundings. |
|
A camera. Hong Kong has stunning scenery and a gorgeous skyline. What better way to document your experience abroad? |
