To kick off Wikimania Dev Day 1, we're having a tech shopping meetup:
Meet at 515pm (1715) in N112 hacking space. We're visiting Sham Shui Po,
the electronics marketplace for everything computer, electrical, telecom,
audio, video, photo, tablet, cases, cables, etc. This is also a good time
to pick up mobile phone SIM cards. (See info below for a recap of earlier
recommendation)
We'll be taking the MTR subway, so please have Octopus cards ready.

For those interested in a local mobile 3G data service, this one seems best
value for Wikipedians:
one2Free/CSL Power Prepaid SIM for HKD 88 (US $12)
You can get 7 days of unlimited 3G data for HKD 78. The remaining HKD 10
can be used for calls and/or SMS.
Find a one2free or CSL store, and ask for the 88 HKD prepaid SIM card. See:
http://one2free.hkcsl.com/jsp/prepaid_sim_card/power_prepaid_sim/
card_features/card_features.jsp
After you buy the card, and make sure it's active in your GSM/UMTS phone,
you can dial:
*101*832*4#
You should receive an SMS confirmation of having 7.2 Mbps service for 7
days.
If you need more credit for your SIM card, stop by any 7-11 shop to get a
top-up amount.
