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?
