Traveling from United States of America to Taiwan means crossing more than just time zones. You're entering a completely different electrical ecosystem. At least the plugs match. Both United States of America and Taiwan use Type A/B outlets. The 10 volt difference between United States of America (120V) and Taiwan (110V) is minor. Most electronics auto-adjust. Drives on the right side of the road. Know before you go, and you'll thank yourself later.
