I thought you all might like to know what the standard connections look like over here. They are a little different. I was surprised to see that all outlets in my apartment included one western style socket as well as a standard Chinese outlet. Oh, and the light switches are opposite from ours. Up is off and down is on. Go figure. I also have like 8 cable connections for some reason. I bought one of those international converters, which has come in handy.
