Subject: Re: Electrical Converter for Italy |
Hello Chuang family,
My experience tells me that the electrical outlet for the
UK is unlike those for Italy, and perhaps the Continent
generally. Some years ago, I bought a converter kit that
includes outlets for the world. It includes a large
converter plug and four smaller ones. I have rarely used
the large plug. It also comes with a handy illustratiion
inside the carrier box that shows which plugs work in which
parts of the world so I only take the ones that I need
rather than carrying the whole package.
I have used it in the UK, continental Europe and Asia, packing only the pieces we need. It hasn't failed us yet with a hairdryer and a laptop. We've also used it to recharge our digital camera. It cost under $20 CA and I bought it in the luggage department of a local department store rather than a travel store. Radio Shack is probably as good a place as any if you shop there. Lucy, Toronto |
