FYI,
I'm also proposing a "Tech shopping" meetup on Wednesday, on Development
Day 1. This will bring folks to the main tech shopping area of Hong Kong,
Sham Shui Po, where you can get these plugs, cell phones, computer parts,
or whatever electronics you may want.

Hi,
There are adapters available in hardware/household stores in HK, and
depending on the location, it should be cheap, anywhere from HKD 12 to 25.
This one is likely the most useful, as it takes both Europlug and US.

In a pinch, you can cheat -- you can plug the two round ends of the
Europlug into a three prong UK socket if you find an implement to press
into the third grounding hole, thereby releasing the catch for the first
two live holes. Don't electrocute yourself!

Yeah, that is the first thing I'll have to
buy, too (only US to UK).
Those are usually available at airports.

Hi.
Are there Europlug/Schuko to BS1363 adapters available in Hong Kong? I
couldn't find any in my country. Where can I buy one for myself?
