Could be fun to bully though because she can't say R

@Millwood uhhh what's the rated amperage listed on the hair dryer?

It might not work at full power in Japan

also in Japan you normally buy rated amps for an entire house

like your whole apartment might only get 10A total

and you gotta pay more for more amperage

yes Japan is terrible

Hmm, I need to check

cause I know Britbongs always complain when they move to NA and their 3 kilowatt kettles no longer work at full power here

dont they have one 230V socket for the cooker

in an apartment? In *Japan*?

you get a single burner.

sometimes 2.

idk thats what i remember from one guy in kyoto

when I stayed in Tokyo, the apartment had 1 burner, a microwave, a mini fridge, and an AC

We're talking old house here so I dunno how their sockets are

and we were warned to turn off the AC if we used the burner

otherwise it'd go over amps

if it's an old house, 100% it's all 2 prong sockets

Yeah, probably

some plugs might have a hookup for a ground wire

wish my plug had a hookup :(

https://www.japan-guide.com/g18/2225_01.jpg left is a grounded plug in Japan because Japs hate doing things the smart way

Kek I think I haven't seen any of those last time

They went full retard with electric grid

2 fucking frequency grids

the Japanese electrical grid really fucking triggers me

everything about it is retarded

and electricity is fuck off expensive in Japan too

like Australia expensive

Nice

scroll down to the Tepco prices

19 cents/kWh for the first *one hundred and twenty kilowatt hours*

why not just use solar panels if the power is so expensive

19 yen isnt 19 cents

dear

its 19 cents in greece tho

yeah, its 18

Tokyo is expensive for everything, I'm not going anywhere close to it
