Never Leave Home Without...
I had decided today would be the official day of hooking up my vonage phone. (A vonage phone system is a phone and adapter that makes the telephone work over the internet instead of usual phone lines. Basically, it's a great and cheap way to call America while you're living overseas.)
So, with thoughts of calling my family and friends in the states, I began hooking up the wires and connectors between my computer, the DSL modem, and the vonage adapter. After untangling the mess of cords behind the desk, I finally got everything plugged in right. Then I took the vonage adapter power cord and attempted to plug it into the electrical socket, until I realized I'm trying to plug an American cord into a non-American socket...
Plug Adapter! My Kingdom for a Plug Adapter!
The situation's not that bad, it's just that the only place around here I know of to get plug adapters is in the huge bazaar place an hour away. Maybe tomorrow will be the official vonage day...
