Before leaving for the Czech Republic a friend of Michelle's told her that we should refrain from using American hair dryers in Europe. Michelle mentioned this when she asked if she could use my American hair dryer, and I pointed out that I had a wattage/voltage converter thing, and there shouldn't be a problem. She came back a few minutes later describing a weird noise and explaining that she now had no power. So until Monday morning Michelle mooched off of my lights and my refrigerator.
Now I was pretty perturbed that I would not be able to use my efficient American hair dryer and thought that the matter could be solved by turning off all the electronics in the room and using a different converter. I also noticed a circuit breaker box and figured I could always just turn my electricity back on. After a weird noise and a fruitless effort to return my electricity, I am now left to ponder why it's important to learn from one's mistakes.
-Literally, Powerless.

I had a converter too and thought "wow this is great, I can still use my hair appliances" but I blew the fuse for our floor as well!
