What should I pack when moving to Causeway Bay?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Causeway Bay to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Causeway Bay, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a subtropical climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot and humid summers, and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Hong Kong can experience heavy rainfall, particularly during the typhoon season. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as Causeway Bay is a bustling area with plenty of shops and attractions within walking distance. You should also pack a good quality air mask, as air pollution can be a problem in Hong Kong. Bring your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be easily purchased in local supermarkets and pharmacies. If you have prescription medication, bring enough to last for your first few weeks, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, and any necessary work or study documents. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, stored separately from the originals. If you're planning to cook at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Hong Kong. Lastly, don't forget to pack your electronics, including your phone, laptop, and any necessary chargers or adapters. Hong Kong uses a type G plug, so you may need a power adapter if your devices use a different type," said a member in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
