This hotel only provides self-laundry service for their long term staying guests. Looking at the price list I figure I better off buying new underwear than letting them clean mine. Or better still, handwash them in the tub, go commando or simply just sun dry clean them in the balcony.What to pack when traveling in HK in the summer ...
If you are a minimalist, all you need is really your passport and a stack of bank and credit cards, you can buy practically anything in Hong Kong, usually at a good price (except used camera equipments).
If you don't plan to buy any T-shirts or intimate wears when in HK, then I think you really should pack accordingly because there is no getting around changing your clothes as you will be soaked and drowned in your own sweats. So pack for daily changes at a minimum.
Hong Kong is a more powerful city, it uses some 240V and the power outlet has a different configuration from here in the US. Normally your portable electronics device can take 110 to 240V, so you don't really need a transformer except an adapter to allow you to plug it into the socket. But do check the input voltage. Case in point, someone plugged in a device that only takes 110V into the 240V outlet and the device went up in smoke and the suite fire alarm went off and the hotel burned to the ground .... Personally I can't wear jeans and long pants when I am in Hong Kong. I was able to do so once upon a time but not anymore.
