Hello.

Where can we get wall socket adapters in Kiev?

I have a laptop from India. The voltage is same as Ukraine. But the Laptop plug has three pins/rods but the wall socket in Kiev Apartmenr has two holes. Where can I buy a adapter that has three holes on one side where I put laptop and two rods on other side which will go into wall socket?

Please this is urgent.....I landed in Kiev two days ago and no charge in laptop.....please help.

My apartment is near Independence Square (near Himalaya Restaurant)

The Ukraine wall socket with two holes means "Phase" and "Neutral" connections.
The Indian laptop with three pins means you may have "Phase", "Neutral" and "Earth Connection". Earth is used to avoid short circuit damages on electrical gadgets.
You must know which hole is "Phase" or "Neutral" on the Ukrainen wall, and, if there is a "Earth Connection" at Kiev Apartment.
If at that place there is not a Earth Connection your strive will be worth while...
I suggest you talk with the Hotel Administration.

The fact is that it is very difficult to purchase the adaptor in Kiev.

If your mains lead/transformer is two piece you can go to a computer/electrical shop and buy a power lead. Petrivka is one of the best places to go and buy one from, as there is a big 2 floor computer shop there.
