Just a little video of miscellaneous travel-related stuff. In this segment we discuss: 1. International Voltage standards (110v for USA, Canada, Japan, and a few other countries; 220v everywhere else). Laptop, cell phone, and digital camera chargers often are able to handle both input voltages. 2. A quick look at different plug adapter shapes. Save some money and get the individual ones for each continent. 3. Outlet charger for USB Devices. 4. International cell phone standards (USA/Canada uses 850/1900Mhz, everywhere else uses GSM 900/1800Mhz). Buy a cheap GSM phone (make sure it’s unlocked) and simply buy sim cards with prepaid minutes at your destination. NOTE: I forgot to mention to get a small bag/pouch to hold all these chargers, cables, and adapters. Trust me, it’ll save you a world of frustration. This video was shot with an Olympus 770SW.
thank you so much for the information. I now know what to do.
thank you for making this video. I’m moving to London and I was confused about transformers vs. plug adapters. I don’t think I’m going to pay 40 bucks for that giant world adapter set!
I am going to Italy and now I know what to do. Thank you:)
