Details

Voltage

No homogeneous electric network

Different voltages are used within the same country. So perhaps in one region one voltage is used, and in another region of the same country, another voltage is used. You will have to take extreme care about this. Before plugin any electric device, you should check your device voltage and you must ask at local place the voltage used in the electric network. If you move to different city, you should ask again about this. In some countries voltages varies in regions, even, in nearby cities. Plugin electric devices to different voltage network could injury an accident. In futher reading section of this page you have usefull links for undertanding the hazards involved.

Plugs Type

Different plug systems

Sorry, none of the plugs used in both countries are common. Definitely, you will need plug adapters.

Hertz

No equal hertz

This is not a big issue. Unless you are using an electric alarm clock and you have to wake up early!. Explanation: Some alarm clocks (not the battery powered ones, the ones that you have to plug to the wall outlet) uses the frequency of electricity to measure time. So, time shifts could be experimented. For more information about alarm clocks hertz shift click here. Apart this issue, almost every home electronic device works perfectly with different hertz.
