| Where to buy a universal adaptor?
Just wanted to confirm before I go out, I have a charger that is suited for Asia. I will need to find an adaptor that I can plug it into so that I can plug it into my house outlet for it to work.
Anyone know where I can get a cheap one? If you're going to say a dollar store, please list ones that you know have them and not random general solutions.
Thanks!!!

Just go to walmart and buy one. Buy the ones that comes with all of them built into one adapter. You shouldn't have to spend more than 15-20 dollars for it.

Make sure you find a cheap plane ticket first. You don't want to go all the way to Asia for an adapter and then find out you got ripped off on the airfare. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Go to Asia just to buy a $10 adapter. What a great idea.  | |
