Get a power converter they use a different plug in get the adapter for it and they probably use 220v so go to office max or something and pick it up
3 :
No, you have to fly all the way to USA just to curl your hair
4 :
Hong Kong has different voltage and power plug configurations than America. You will need an adapter plug and an electric current converter.
5 :
HK uses different voltage and has different type outlets than the USA. Note that appliances like curling irons typically don't work well on another voltage, even if you use a voltage converter. Better is to just buy a curling iron locally. An alternative is to buy a dual-voltage curling iron before leaving home. You still need a plug adapter, but you may need one anyway if you are taking other electrical items that work on any electricty - such as a laptop. http://shopping.yahoo.com/search?p=dual%20voltage%20curling%20iron http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=236

Hi There, The voltage here in Hong Kong is 220V, and we have different plugs as well. If your curling Iron says it is dual voltage, you can use it here in Hong Kong as well. To be completely honest though, Hong Kong is a technology haven, and it might make more sense to pick a curling iron here as well. And things are quite cheap here as well. There are a lot of stores where you can get one. Fortress: http://iluv.hk/shopping/electronics/62-fortress Broadway: http://iluv.hk/shopping/electronics/61-broadway You can find these stores in almost every single street corner here. Where will you be staying? which area? Hope this helps Ciao

You will need to buy an adaptor/converter - spend a little more & get a good quality universal one. Available anywhere travel-related goods are sold, major department stores and good electrical retailers.
2 :
They have better quality tv's and ditigal signles so that they get better pictures and graphics on there programs, than we do in the united states. We have the on of the poorest quality reception in the world
3 :
Hong Kong is on 220v so you will need a step up - step down converter. The biggest problem is that Hong Kong is on the PAL system and the US is NTSC and this will probably make your TV unusable in Hong Kong.
4 :
Most electrical appliances, including tv's, are not operable in foreign countries without some adaptation. You will save money by selling the tv you now have and purchasing another in Hong Kong.
5 :
when you factor in the shipping, the cost of a good quality voltage converter, and the fact that it might still not work properly due to the different systems, you better get a new one in HK.
6 :
You may need to buy a new one in HK
7 :
i am sure it will work well in HK - but u can buy a new one in HK in a very cheap price... enjoy! HK is really a nice place... try Dimsun here as your first meal...haha
8 :
No, it isn't going to work. California tv is NTSC, and Hong Kong is PAL
9 :
It should work ok, most TV's can display NTSC and PAL format. Only problem is that the voltage here is 240V 50Hz, and in the States its 110V 60Hz so you will need a step-up converter.

Can EU national work in Hong Kong, Singapore or Mainland China

Can EU national work in Hong Kong, Singapore or Mainland China?
I recently graduated from a US university with a finance degree. I have had a tough time getting jobs or interviews here in the USA because 90% of the openings automatically won't consider anyone without a citizenship or a green card. I lived in China for some years and was wondering what the visa rules are there. Is it the same situation there for foreigners? Thanks!

usually 9-6 daily... some offices off at 5:30pm. some 5 days work only Mon - Fri. but most of us working 5 & a half days. means 1/2 day on Sat 9-1. nowadays, some offices try flexi working hrs. like the Adidas in HK. their HR wil allow them to like back at work 8am / can off at 5pm. anyway, just add up 9 hrs after u back to work. u can even back to work at 10am / then u off at 7pm....

My dad on the other hand start work at any time between 7 to 9....you will know when people start working because the highways have crazy traffic
