[quote=APAULT ,32888]I take a slightly different view from the earlier contributors. You should definitely buy a surge protector when you get here...cheaper here than home. The supply does surge from time to time and could blow yr puter.Also the electrical wiring is appalling. Joints are made with tape only, thin wires are used where heavier duty ones should be used; many powerboards are defective - often omitting earthing..or you get a board which accepts 3 pin plugs but only has a 2 pin plug to go into the socket (so do not buy cheapies from the markets); you can get tingling shocks from leakage on hot water immersion tanks most of which are simply using standard plugs which are frequently in the line of the shower spray itself ! ; power sockets are often flimsy and frequently broken inside. Oh, and all the above are examples of my own experiences in cities. Take care !!![/quote]
