very small..very important!!

While being in Japan, i wouldnt have sold this even for $10000!!
My laptop charger,my camera charger,my mobile phone charger..all are completely useless in Japan without this small cheap piece!


Today's post star! ..really important!! my precious little thing! :D
Back view



Outlets look like this

Because electric outlets in Japan are ones like the picture above, i was unable to charge my electric stuff which have our usual 2-pin shape plugs.
Ofcourse, everything was ok as long as we were in the hotel since they provide ones..but in the 4 days we spent in the NYC (national youth center)..all my devices went dead because i couldnt find this precious plug anywhere in the shops near by...i missed alot of things that i should have taken pictures of because of this actually.


Front view :p
So when we returned to the hotel and finished our NYC activities, where would you normally head?? ofcourse to Akiba!
i bought myself one from Akiba because i would need it in in the homestay and in the hotel in kyoto in case they didnt have ones.
Totally useful small thing!!
If you are going to Japan, bring one with you or make it the first thing you buy if you care about your chargable devices.
...And yea make sure that your device's adaptors support a range of voltage that covers the voltage used in Japan(100 volts input)!

Haha, this is called the A-plug.

Already covered in this regard!

In fact, the one I have is nastier than yours; it converts all plug shapes known to mankind to the A-plug.

benri da ne!
