While we’re still on the topic of different socket/outlet types, let’s see what the rest of the world uses. From the Americas to China to India, as you can see, it seems like everybody wants a quirky design of their own.

This infographic only covers some of the most popular travel destinations. There are plenty of countries not included here. While the different shapes are interesting, it does make you wonder why there isn’t just one universal design. It would definitely make backpacking or traveling easier.

While traveling is fun, it can also be a bit annoying. This generally comes from the fact that things aren’t always the same as you are familiar with. A fine example is the various power socket types you would need if traveling Europe.

This nifty infographic easily shows that the majority of Europe has conformed to one type of socket. Places like the UK, France, Poland, Denmark, Switzerland, and Italy, however, have their own socket configurations. A bit annoying, but Denmark’s sure is adorable!
