Do they use the same type outlets in the countries that drive on the
right side of the road?

I was hoping a worldly person could answer this. *I never leave the

Japan uses outlets and switches very much like North American ones, I
presume owing to the American administration following WWII, having
resisted the European colonization of, oh, everywhere else. A lot of
the outlets are only two-prong but apparently the three-prongs are
becoming more common. Wikipedia tells us that the actual size specs
are a little different but they certainly look the same.

Trivia question du jour: name another drive-on-the-left place which
the US took (and retains) control of and *didn't* bother to change the
road rules.

You sure the ad was set outside North America? Was there anything else
that might give it away? Money? Cars? Skinny little cans of Coke or a
bottle of Calpis?
