Also, I brought an American extension cord with me, so I would only
need one adapter for the computer, the camera charger, the phone
charger, and the earpiece charger, all of which together don't use
that much iirc, but someone tells me a US extension cord might not be
able to handle 220v. What say ye?


It is the amps, not the volts to be concerned about. Are you talking
voltage adapter? If you plug the adapter into the 220 socket and the
cord into the adapter it is only carrying 110, not 220 as the adapter
reduces
