Clothing
Winter months from can be cool, especially
from January to April, so plan on bring a light jacket and sweater.
A sport warmup is essential. All items such as these you can also
purchase in Hong Kong. The spring and fall months in Hong Kong are usually
very pleasant but can be warm (about 30 C, 90 F % ), so bring lightweight,
quick-drying clothing (cotton is good), but NOT skimpy. Traditionally,
Hong Kong Chinese are generally quite conservative and very modest. For
girls, if you bring tank tops, please make sure they have small arm holes
and wide straps. On some days you will have two outreaches and you
will probably want to change more than once, so make sure to bring plenty
of t-shirts, socks, etc. In addition to your sports shoes (Note: courts
are outdoors), bring another pair of very comfortable shoes for walking
(we do LOTS of walking here!) and a pair of thongs or similar item to wear
when using the community showers. We would encourage you to also bring
a few "nicer" clothes for church and other public appearances.
Miscellaneous
-
You can buy almost anything you need here in Hong
Kong, but you probably want to bring your own shampoo, soap, deodorant,
towel, etc.
-
The voltage in Hong Kong is 220, so if you bring
any items that need to be plugged in, you will need to bring an adapter
with you.
-
Bring ideas for drills, games, practices, group
games and simple English songs to teach the students.
-
Don't forget your Bible, pen & notebook!
-
Other Items- umbrella or light raincoat (Please
pack in your carry-on. We never know when rain will fall ?) ; mosquito
repellent & anti-itch cream; athletic pre-wrap and tape (if needed);
any medication you use; battery-operated alarm clock; salvation bracelets
(multicolored beads on a leather string which can be used to share the
Gospel); extra t-shirts, jerseys, and anything else that might be appropriate
to give away as gifts to friends you will meet here; pictures of your family,
school, city, etc. are great for conversations with students; a daypack
(small backpack); sunscreen; wet wipes or anti-bacterial hand gel;
although it’s hot here, you might want to bring a light sweater or sweatshirt
for the very cold restaurants, gyms and trains
Having said all the above: remember to travel
lightly - - you do not need as much as you think!
