Hi,

But such a situation is the same everywhere. Take Plug & socket types 
http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/

These plugs types (and adapters) are the cause of numerous problems for 
travelers (like searching in a town for an adapter at night, sigh...). 
However, it seems indeed people can't talk to each other.

Cheers,
