Heatwave!

You do need a plug adapter because our plugs are very different than theirs,
If you use a 115v hair dryer with an adapter it will work but the heat output will be reduced because their voltage is 220v. 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!!!

When I visited CA, I brought a converter and it worked fine charging my batteries for the camera. However, I borrowed an American hairdryer.

In a hotel in Spain, John and I blew the fuses in whole building one time, when we took his shaver out of the plug and put my hairdryer in another. We had just arrived and had complained about the noise from the disco downstairs. We got a quiet night and moved to another hotel the next morning.

Oops!!! That's one way to quiet things down. Are you sure you didn't plan it that way??? That's just so funny........

Well, subconsciously (is that a word? LOL!) we might have done!

Thanks for the laugh, that was too funny. Subconsciously is a word and I bet it applies here

We're getting thunder,lightning and heavy rain here tonight. It isn't cooling things down at all but at least everything is getting a good soaking, we might see green grass again. Maybe tomorrow will be cooler if the wind shifts during the night.
