Hi All, I am moving to Hong Kong as soon as my visa is approved until the end of the year (3-4 mths). I am bringing only my laptop and mobile devices (blackberry, phone, etc.). What are your thoughts on converters? I was thinking get a couple of the little attachment plugs, but I called some company and they sent me a US$40, 15 pound box that looks like a transformer. They said I need this for my laptop, but not to plug in a US power strip for the little things. I did search the forum, and saw a recommendation to buy a new cord for my laptop to go from the power box to the outlet, but what about my mobile devices? The guy all but laughed at me when I mentioned a power strip.

I don't want to be a stupid American.... sigh...
Thanks!
