I brought some UK-style multiblock extension leads over from the UK, and replaced the plugs with continental European plugs bought for €0.99 shortly after I arrived here.

There are no words which adequately describe how superior the resulting devices are compared to those one-piece plastic adaptor things you buy at the airport.

... like I'm in a different country.  Not in the same way that it does (or did, previously) when I visited other countries.  Maybe it's because almost everything at work is done in English, or maybe it's because I've had such a long time to get used to the idea before coming.  Or maybe it's because things aren't actually that much different over here from what I'm used to.
