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.
