Yes but you need to go to a china phone company like China Telecom and get a SIN card to put in it. CHEAP maybe a couple hundred RMB. As long as you have the sin card your fine.
2 :
If it is an unlocked tri-band or quad-band phone, it will work in China and Hong Kong. Single or dual-band phones don't work in Asia. You will need to buy local SIM cards (different for Hong Kong and China) but that is not difficult to do. Good luck!

I'm from the Philippines too, if you go to hong kong you can buy a local version or a US version of the 360. Your games will be dictated by the region of your xbox. Also your Xbox live and game points will depend on which region box you get. I got US and get my points online. Games are available locally at datablitz. I do recommend the US version, more games available quicker too.

Of course, there is a very big expat community here. There are americans all over the place, they seem to love hong kong and the convenience of living in a small crime free city.
2 :
Anyone can
3 :
Sure & it's a fun place to live.
4 :
Why not? Hong Kong is a nice place and welcome different kinds of culture ppl to come. Why do u want to live and work in HK?
5 :
Sure you can, but you need to be able to get a work permit which enables you to work and live in Hong Kong with the proper visa, and to get a work permit, you first need a job. Most jobs are protected meaning they are only available to Hong Kong citizens, but depending on your experience and skills there are many jobs available, especially with foreign multinational companies. It's not like you can just show up and apply for a job, but this website should give you some insight into what it takes: http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_4_2.htm This is another good website to have a look at: http://www.hongkong.alloexpat.com/hongkong_immigration/preparing_visa_application.php, Good luck.

Sure you can.Hong Kong is a very unique place.You'll never regret it.
7 :
You need a letter of invitation from an employer and a work visa in order to work there. You also need a medical exam after arriving.
8 :
apply for Hong Kong permanent resident card (it's required if you live in Hong Kong as a resident) and/or work permit.

Hong Kong is 220v ! Better to buy new things there if you're staying there very long.
2 :
Well things like phones and computers have adapters that can work on any voltage around the world. However things like hairdryers and kettles will work on the 110V US supply and Hongkong uses a 220 British powersupply. The weight limite on flights adds up pretty quickly so you won't really be able to take too much. Hong Kong is a free port and you have lots of different products are very cheap prices.
3 :
Not only that the voltage is different in Hong Kong but also the plugs, Hong Kong's are 3-legs while the US are 2 so you need to buy a socket that could fit both ends.
4 :
Leave your appliances in America. Hong Kong has different voltage and plug configurations than the United States. You will need to buy voltage converters and plug adapterss for everything if you bring them to Hong Kong. Trust me, it's too big of a hassle for a $30 hair dryer.
5 :
No,I do not think so, Hong Kong the voltage is 220V,while USA is 110V.
