Q: Can you tell me what to Power Voltage is in HK 110 or 240v. Do hotel rooms have facilities for making coffee or ironing cloths in general? A: The power voltage is 220/240. For 110 voltage devices you need a transformer. Some hotels, though by no means all have coffee or tea making facilites in the room. As far as ironing is concerned, in every hotel, I think, housekeeping staff would be able and willing to lend you ironing/pressing equipment.

Q: Hi, I am looking for a list of what I should take to hong kong. I have never been there and have no idea of what to expect. Can you please help? Summer clothes are best, perhaps one sweater or jacket or cardigan (for air-conditioned rooms). You also need a passport that is valid for at leas the next six months. As far as money is concerned, take a credit card and traveller`s cheques. Special vaccinations are not necessary. Bring a camera (do NOT buy one in Hong Kong!), as you are likely to want to take pictures. What else? A guide book (or print the pages from our online guide for a start) and a city map (but the map can also be bought in Hong Kong). Oh - and a transformer (US electric devices like shavers etc. won`t work in Hong Kong, because the voltage is different). That`s all, as far as I know.

Q: Read somewhere, that you must carry your passport with you at all times whilst in Hong Kong. Is that true? A: Yes, you should always carry your passport or identification card with you. I do noto know if it is the law, but it is definitely advisable. Also, in order to be admitted into Hong Kong, your passport must be valid at least for the next six months.

Q: Hello , I have a question about tipping in Hong Kong. would you tip a limo driver that you order thru your hotel. I have been told it would be an insult to tip the driver, but I have also been told you should tip. Which is right? A: As far as I could observe, Hong Kong drivers are NOT insulted if you give them a tip - as a matter of fact, they like it! It is, however, not necessary. Give it only if the driver was polite and reliable (no detours). Don`t give too much - something like five per cent of the fare would be adequate.
