A word about electricity and adapter/converters

http://goeurope.about.com/cs/electricity/l/bl_electricity.htm

I recommend reading this, looking WITH your student at all electronic devices, compare the tag information with the example pictures here adn THEN determine what it is that each item needs. Make a written list to pack in his/her bags. The odds are much better that the item will "blow out" even if using adapter/converters than not, because of improper use (I am speaking from experience.)

Know the difference between an adapter and a converter.

I recommend this kit. I also love the diagram of what order the gadgets go in to the sockets:
