Quote:ok, what about things like the cellphone charger? Do I need a different plug for that than what we use here? And will he be able to plug that in at say the youth hostels?
i doubt that an ordinary north-american cellphone will work in europe ;
aside from that , the by-the-minute cellphone charges are likely VERY high
in phoning overseas , we have usually used a "non-phonecompany" phonecard ; that is , bought one from a cornerstore .
phoning from canada to germany we always use a phonecard - about
4 cents a minute - NO connection charge either .
