Voltage

Equal voltage

Perfect! Congratulations! This is the best! You will not need any voltage adapter (they are always big, weights a lot, can't handle too much energy, etc.).

Plugs Type

Some connectors used in both countries

Some connectors are used in both countries. Perhaps you need to get advices about what connectors are used exactly in the city, region were are you going to. At third world countries its common not to have a standard plug system all over the country. Anyway, as a rule of thumb, it will be easy to get adapters to different plug systems used within the country.

Adapters

Im sorry, we can't find an adapter for your travel in our database.

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.
