Even our outlets are terrified of how bad the plug design is.
Try going to Japan. They took the US design, but most outlets there don't have the grounding plug (in hotels it was practically non-existent). My travel adapter didn't even work xP
It's goes far beyond grounding, half of Japan use 50hz and half use 60hz.
It’s the same in The Philippines. One place I stayed had a three-way splitter & I snuck my laptop charger in the top, just letting the ground hang out. Luckily my gears has gotten lighter & with GaN chargers, two-prong is just fine.
