The power sockets here are different. They are closer to the US style flat pins than the UK three pins that are common back home and our last country.
Would be nice if the apartment had universal sockets but they don't. So I ordered some online and after 2 days they delivered it to the nearby 7-11.
It is different where we are from. With mega malls that house everything from high end fashion to home equipment.
Here it tends to be more department stores than heartland malls. Then there are the small independent malls as well that are a hodge podge of everything in one.
