<<(yes, I had adaptor plus converter, but it did so anyway).>>

Back when I was in Germany I lived off post and had a converter. 220 to 110 was fine except for the alarm clock. The 220 was 50 cycles per second instead of the 60 cycles we use here. If I wanted to go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6 I had to set the clock at 11:20 so it would be right in the morning. After a night of boozing it could be tricky.
