Things like TV's and other electronic devices will not work even with an adapter. They will probably smoke and burn up the instant it is turned on. There are inverter devices that will convert voltage and frequency, but they would be very expensive.
You've explained this so well!! I am sure you have been in Europe already !!
In Belgium we have that system too

There is also a heatwave here.....! NOT easy to live in, when you know that AC isn't yet very popular here! We have a big fan in our bedroom, but that's it!!
I swear, if we ever have another house built, it MUST have AC everywhere!!!
