What should I pack when moving to Kennedy Town?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Kennedy Town, 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 your important documents such as passport, visa, work permit, and any necessary medical records or prescriptions. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents as well. Bring your electronic devices, such as your laptop, smartphone, and any other necessary gadgets. Don't forget to pack the appropriate power adapters or converters, as Hong Kong uses a different plug type and voltage than many other countries. Pack personal hygiene items and toiletries, although most of these can also be easily purchased in Hong Kong. If you have specific brands or products you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them with you. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and a copy of your prescription. While you can easily get these in Hong Kong, having a spare pair can be handy while you settle in. Pack some of your favorite non-perishable snacks or comfort foods from home. While Hong Kong has a wide variety of food to offer, having some familiar tastes can help with homesickness. Bring any necessary study or work-related materials. If you're moving for work or school, make sure you have everything you need to hit the ground running. Lastly, pack items that remind you of home. Photos, small keepsakes, or favorite books can make your new place feel more comfortable and help with the transition," remarked another expat who made the move to Kennedy Town, Hong Kong.
