Does Wii games bought in Hong Kong work on a Wii bought in the US?
Are the formats different? Are both formatted games available to buy in H.K?

No it does not as the wii is region locked. don't even get a game from china it mostly likely pirated as china does not have wii games to answer your question I really don't know what you mean by formatting
2 :
Before SSBB released I had a few friends who played the japanese version on their Wii's so i'm thinking it should work for you
3 :
You'll need to either modchip your wii (expensive, voids your warrenty) or buy a freeloader. This will let you play games from other regions on your US wii. Available Here: http://www.jr.com/datel/pe/DTL_DUS0264_hy_I/

HOog Kong is NOT part of the Nintendo Big 3. Most likely, Hong Kong gets PAL Region Games. It should work, but check the box. If it says i-Que Wii, then you got a problem. I'll explain. There are 3 regions Nintendo Supports: Nintendo Of Japan (Big N) Nintendo Of America Nintendo Of Europe There is another that covers not-so-important countries, called Nintendo PAL Then, there is Nintendo of China, but due to goverment restrictions, they operate as i-Que (Nintendo of China) You should be able to find at least a PAL Copy because Hong Kong is a Special Zone in China and operates almost as it's own international country, but still anexed by by China.

What should I ask for now that my company is sending me overseas (Hong Kong) for work
What should I ask for now that my company is sending me overseas (Hong Kong) for work?
My company (headquartered in Boston) is going to be sending me to work in Hong Kong for the next 2 years. Are there any perks I should ask them for (airline tickets, cell phone, laptop, chinese language lessons) before I agree to go?

Ask for anything you can think of, especially a raise for the increase in your cost of living. Relocation Language lessons Aid in finding housing etc.
2 :
Don't agree to anything until you have decided what exactly it is you want from them. Like for them to pay your phone bill each month, because calling home from Hong Kong can be very costly. A first class trip back home to Boston every 6 months, and your internet fees. These are just for starters.. But then you wouldn't be able to pay me enough to work in Hong Kong.

I have been abroad several times on work assignments. Your company should be providing the following: 1) Hotel accomodation whilst you get permament accomodation. 2) Help with finding accomodation, schools etc, for you and family if taking them as well. 3) You will probably need a maid in Hong Kong - this is cultural and helps you survive in a foreign culture. 4) Office space 5) Per diem if expenses are more in HK 6) Help from a native in settling in, getting a bank account etc. 7) Some flights if leave your family at home. Of course they will fly you and your effects out there. Hong Kong is a wonderful place and you will probably work using English. Your maid will help you with the very Chineese stuff. It's a privalege and a good boost to your career. Enjoy it!

Ask for it all. The old saying, "If you don't ask, than you know the answer" I would ask for: Cell phone charges to be paid Hotel accomodations or other living arrangement allocations Language lessons are a must Interpretation assistance Rental car assistance or a company car.

Hong Kong is a beautiful vibrant city with tons of culture. Many people speak English. It is very international. I would go if given this opportunity, it is frequently a way to move up in corporations, and a great way to see the world. This is what I would ask for: - You must have a company charge card. - First I would ask for a "pre-trip" of about 2 weeks to check out the city, see if you like it, find a place to live there, get used to the food, etc. Make it 2 weeks, not 1, because you will be jet-lagged at first. Fly Business Class, stay at the Conrad Hotel in Central. If they want to fly you coach and put you up at a second rate hotel, tell them to forget about it. - Then ask for 3 to 4 weeks back at home to pack your things, visit family and friends, and get your "stuff" prepared for an extended leave. - A local cell phone is a must, as is a wireless laptop. - All transportation must be Business or First class air. No coach. The flight(s) from Boston will take 16 hours or more. - Ask for paid trips back home about once per quarter (for holidays, family functions, vacations, etc.). Also ask that you may have the option of fying someone to visit you (girlfreind, sister, friend, whoever) in lieu of you flying home for one of the quarterly trips. - The cost of living is very high. The cost of food is high. I would ask for a daily meal allowance of $60 or more. As far as expenses, I would ask for a daily allowance - usually called a "per diem" - rather than actual expenses. If you have to submit actual expenses you will need to save and submit just about every receipt which can be tedious. I would recommend keeping receipts in a shoe box though in case anyone challenges your actual expenses, which WILL BE high in Hong Kong. - Where you live is very important. Apartments are very expensive, even in the outlying areas. I would recommend you stay downtown in "central" area at one of the International Hotels that have apartments. I recommend the Conrad (Hilton) Hotel ( http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/brandServices.do?service=residences ). The Grand Hyatt, Peninsula, Four Seasons, Shangri-La and JW Marriot are all very nice too. Most have very nice apartments, and most of the people at these places speak English so that will be a big help. If you will be working in Kowloon (north, across water from Central) the Intercontinental is high class. Choose your location, don't let someone choose it for you. Hong Kong is huge, you could get stuck many miles outside of the city. - The transportation system is very good. Ask for a fully funded "octopus" card ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus_Card )which will allow you to take any train or bus anywhere, and pay for expenses. Forget about driving - they drive on the wrong (left) side of the road and traffic is horrible. If you have some clout, and are midlevel and up, it is common for people to ask for a car and driver. Don't laugh - it is common. This is especially useful if your commute will be long, if you will be entertaining clients frequently or traveling to client offices. The driver will also help you navigate about the city.

Will PS3 games that I buy in Hong Kong work on my PS3 back in South Africa? And will they be in English
Will PS3 games that I buy in Hong Kong work on my PS3 back in South Africa? And will they be in English?
I am going to Hong Kong next month, but I'm scared of buying PS3 games there and then they won't work on my PS3 or that they'll be in Chinese.

The game will work as the PS3 can play any region games. As far as the language it depends on the video game, check with your supplier.
2 :
ps3 games are all non regional - i would imagine you would have english as an option at least but it could be that it is in chinese/cantonese whatever initially.
3 :
Normally it's in chinese. I bought some games but faiiiil. -.- but you can check with the store your buying them from.
4 :
OMG FIRST SOUTH AFRICA IVE MET ON YAHOO!!! I used to live in knysna, western cap close to George and Plett ^^. I dont suggest buying ps3 games from there because I remember buying ps2 games and you neeed a special chip to play them >>" And of course they are going to be in chinese because imagine they sell english games in a Chinese speaking country I dont think the natives will be very happy XD So Yes dot risk it. WOW stll amazed I moved from SA to Belgium and Ireally miss it :) Well I hope this help and have fun in HONG KONG Hope thi is the best answer :)
5 :
ps3 is not region encoded so any game from any region will work on any ps3, but as of language, you need to make sure that the game supports multi-language and most games from hong kong are in japanese so i might ask the seller before purchasing anything.
