Where to buy the powerboard for the 2-point plug from US?

Does any one know where to buy a powerboard that has 2-points plugs where I can plug in the digital camera charger I brought from the States?

All the plugs here are 3 points:-(

A friend, who just relocated from Boston, also had the same problem, he told me he went to several Fortress stores that the locals told him to check.....but could not find anything he can use?

Any other place, in Central office area?

Thanks!

The three pin type is fine. Please make sure you can use 240V with your charger (should say something like Input: AC 100-240V).

You can find the adaptors in market stalls and small shops that sell electrical goods.

The shoppers' paradise for electrical odds end ends is Ap Liu Street, Sham Shui Po.

You should be able to buy these in the small shops in mid-levels also.

Assuming it is for your digital camera only then you should be fine on the voltage as it should be 110-240V on the transformer. If not then you need to buy a step up/step down transformer. Again, quite cheap in one of the small shops selling all sorts of electrical items.

If you are looking for a voltage converter plus power strip, you can go to Time Square. The store is called Kibbles and something. I just bought a transformer that had more than socket for my US plugs. So it served a two in one purpose. The only problem is, it is not cheap (then again, nothing is cheap in HK). I thought that is what are looking for.....

you can buy unversal power strips either in ap liu or in the midlevels (sorry forget the name of the street). I just picked up 2 of them last week, so you can definitely find them.
