Re: 220 devices for use of 110 volt?

It's a Sony micro stereo system, consisting of two speaker boxes and one CD player, just to clarify.

Thanks for all the answers. I did some research as well. It depends on the Watt, so the stereo...

220 devices for use of 110 volt?

Just wondering, with a converter or transformer, is it ok to bring a stereo system or a microwave, both for 220 volt to Canada?

Did anybody try this? Or is this completely unadvisable?

Re: Energy Prices In Ireland

Even though the natural gas prices are down to pre-Ukraine-war levels, prices aren't passed on to the consumer at the same pace. Does anybody know why this is the case?

Re: Toronto airport

There is possibly more travel chaos coming down the pike for Toronto airport if they demand pre arrival testing again, due to the situation in China.

Re: Military Check

It's interesting to note that military checks are subject to EU membership of the citizen needing it, but not to NATO membership. The latter would make more sense.

Re: moving back from USA to UK - any regrets?

I think the US is no place for somebody who was born and bred in Europe and nearing retirement. One simply misses the culture and history of the old world. The US is however a good place to make...

Re: 2 year ban on non Canadians buying property

You were right to ask. I also found it confusing the way it was reported in the media. It felt one had to be a Canadian citizen as the only requirement to buy. It doesn't make any sense for a PR...

Re: Toronto Homicides

Toronto changed too much to the negative.

It was good back in the days when it was a boring place with a huge parking lot at the lakefront. Now it's unaffordable, constantly getting bigger and...

Re: Driving in France, emission zones and the new Crit Air vignette system

It's probably bureaucrats deciding on something they don't really understand anyway. But in the end, it's a law, it's obligatory, and if not complying it's a fine and it certainly doesn't save the...

Re: Driving in France, emission zones and the new Crit Air vignette system

I am just trying to understand it.

I take it, all cars manufactured before 1997 are to disappear from certain designated "zones".

Re: Driving in France, emission zones and the new Crit Air vignette system

Thanks for that. Oddly, it seems, it's the manufacture date of the car, rather then the Euro emission class which decides if one get's the Crit Air certificate or not.

Re: Finding a rental from UK

To avoid any scams, AirBnB in the beginning is not a wrong choice.
It gives the advantage of having the choice to look for something longer term in person, plus minimizes the risk of a scam.

Re: Nokia 105 4G phone?

Thanks for your posting. I've done some research myself by now.
