Answer 1 :
yes they are the same
Answer 2 :
Its the same socket. The current will be weaker though (aka dont use a USA alarm clock or something of that nature). Don't leave your laptop plugged in constantly though. I think when I did that in Japan it made my battery weaker T_T.
Answer 3 :
Yeah they are the same in pretty much ever country with electricity :)
Answer 4 :
They don't require a special plug-in, but they do charge a little bit slower. For example, in the US my iPod needs about two hours to charge. I spent a month in Japan and it needed about an hour or so more. But yeah, you will be able to charge them regularly. Like someone else said, don't leave them plugged in constantly, though - that will make your battery weaker, whether you are at your home or across the world.
Answer 5 :
Nominal voltage is slightly lower, but it doesn't have an affect on most items. I have an America alarm clock and it works fine. Ditto for my hair dryer, though it doesn't get quite as hot. My computer, bought in the U.S. from Dell, has no problem at all. All of my Christmas lights, all 5,000 of them, have no problem at all. I use a charger for all my batteries. It came from the U.S. and works fine. Basically, devices such as hair dryers that are designed to produce heat operate at lower temps, but other than that, the 15-20V difference has no effect at all
