    Are plugs different in germany, so will i need an adapter thing to use electrical products over there? and if so, (im guessing this is the case) where could i find such a piece of equipment.


    thanks
    mich

    Yeah, they use a different type of socket, but it's the same as what's used in most of continental Europe as far as I'm aware.

    You can have a gander at them here .

    As for the supply, they use the same as us - 220 volts @ 50 Hertz, so you just need an adapter and not a converter.

    Some of the larger electrical retailers should stock the adapters - or if you leave it to the last minute, you'll pick one up at the airport - for a few euro more naturally!

    The german plugs are two pinned so if any of your gear is two pinned, it'll be a tight sqeeze but should be ok.
