"Oh the flat plug's connected to the square plug, the square plug's connected to the round plug..."
This is the basic way we hook up to the electric here. South Africa uses a plug similar to the UK but still different enough that you need a special adapter that is not typically available anywhere but here. It looks like a heavy duty one in the states like for a large window AC unit or a clothes dryer. We use a voltage converter to drop the power to 120 and then a 3 into 1 so we can plug in more then one device at a time and then comes our puney little power cords. Luckily the computer AC adapters and my camera battery chargers are duel voltage ready which can eliminate the voltage adapter.
