You’re flashpacking in the wild, on your crazy trip to Hong Kong, and bringing the usual amazing amount of technology among – your camera, your Macbook, iPod and lots of more gimmicks. Yes, we know you love it at least as much as we do, but a big, amazing, and unexplicable problem comes up in 2009: you don’t have the right plug, and you’re thinking “Crap! If I thought about it sooner…”

Sure, there are few easy solutions for most of the plugs – all-in-one plug adapters like this one, but it’s one of the most forgotten items in the world of travel (source: me). Plus, even if it looks right, it doesn’t mean it is right, and not all of us are electricists.
Luckily, someone thought of a smart solution: WhatPlug is a website that allows you to easily find the right plug for every place in the world. How? Piece of cake. Just type www.whatplug.info from your wifi hotspot, before the battery of your device runs too low, and get to the nearest shop with a piece of paper carrying all the data.

Ok, but… where to find paper in 2009? Honestly, no idea.
