Where to find electrical convertor plug (Oz-HK)
Anyone know where I can buy electrical plug convertors? I want to be able to use my Australian appliances in HK. I've been to 2 local electrical stores who all said these are illegal?!

Yep, unfortunately they're semi-illegal. If you're here for the long haul, just buy the Hong Kong plugs and cut the aussie plugs off. Safer in the long run.

Your best bets are the Wanchai Computer center or Duty Free (ok, I'm sure there are other places but I know they are available here for sure) and look around for travel adaptors.

Travel adaptors are not illegal.

Adapters can be bought at every street market.

The Japan Home Centres sell Aussie adapters for HK. I've got a few Aussie powerboards sitting around at home as well - PM me if you need one.
