the plug on the wall

Another thing is the pin configuration of the plug. There are US/UK/China/European/Japan styles. The question is where we can buy a universal plug adaptor so that we can use our electronics while traveling.

Not all adaptors are 100 - 220v. Some are, some are not... it really depends. Please don't mislead the OP. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL ON THE SPECIFIC ADAPTOR!!!

Regarding to mains voltage... here's a slightly more dependable source...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_power_around_the_world

Wiki lists both US and Canada at 120V 60Hz. Japan is listed at 100V 50/60Hz. HK is of course 220V 50Hz

All of these adaptors sold in North America for cellphones, camera chargers, laptop etc are universal, so they accept everything ranging from 100-220v.

Just funny how many people started to dis the OP when they don't even have a clue what the OP is asking about, LOL. Until tofu's reply they were all trying to dis the OP, clearly showing their high intelligence level... LOL

I think Myversa has mis-read the Canary Island just below Canada, which is 220V

You are right.

before plug in
check the international voltage to see howmuch
then use the electronics

One thing you should know, Japan is 100V.
Some of my electronics that I brought from Japan are all 100V.
Usually they say electronics have 10% tolorence, but Canada is 120V, so be careful.
