What electrical devices are you travelling with?
Most(all?) laptops, Ipads, phones are OK with multi voltage. Check the labels/power pack

Anything with a motor or heater, like a hair dryer, may fail with 230V 60Hz. Check the label. If it it smokes/blow fuse when turned on time to bin it. Just leave such devices at home. Anyway the less stuff you travel with the better.

A plug adaptor is what most people only need. Not a voltage power transformer.
