Lordy, how hard is this? Laptop charger has a three pin plug. Japan uses two pins. Plug adaptors are available for Oz to Jap but not with any space for the earth plug. A multi country adaptor will work, but such a cost. Oz to Euro and Euro to Japan will work too, but how messy. It seems the adaptors are readily available in Japan and hotels lend you one for free. But I like to be prepared.
What do Australians who like to be prepared do? They hacksaw off the earth pin from their laptop charger or drill a hole in the standard Aus to Jap conversion plug to accommodate the earth prong. I think we will do the latter.
Hi Andrew, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Wow I think that is all a bit scarey with the plugs. Don't some things get confusing when you travel.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they do Davine. I try to be organised but there is always something that trips you up.
ReplyDeletei like to travel technology free, i'd leave my laptop at home. Too much worry for me.
ReplyDeleteSydney last year Fen was the first time I had a laptop with us. It was invaluable, if only amusing me in the early morn while R slept.
