Should easily last the whole flight. Well, I don't know about NZ, but from Australia to Vietnam should take like around 8hrs?

Got a whole lot of them at home. Bought them overseas, costed like equivalent of $1AUD each? They work, whatever.

Yea... but you can at least buy a nice magazine to kill time if the gadgets die.

They're a piece of plastic and metal that feels quite solid. Not much in the way of tricking people with bad quality goods, and pretty much entirely the fact that stuff here is probably made in China anyway, so you pay the premium for the shipping.
By the way, these "cheap" goods work well - better than any adaptor I've gotten here actually.

nah, i have to fly to another city, then to thailand, then to vietnam, there's no direct route. + waiting for transfer as well, so it takes around 24 hours.

Well if you think they'll die, a cheap novel/magazine works too, as feinicks suggested.

The point is that over here, build quality varies a lot. For instance, lets say you need a adapter to fit multiple chargers into one power socket, the cheap ones will be made of really thin plastic and not that good copper while the expensive ones will be made of thick plastic (or another material) and even include a circuit board, space and LEDs...

@ Hearty.. for me it'd be a 100 times easier LOL!

The ones that I'm talking about (that I bough for really cheap), they just look like a solid-ish square-ish block of plastic with some holes in it. Works, so I'm not complaining. Like do you really need a circuit board and LEDs?

Refer back to comment where I said it makes you feel stupid for buying it.

I can't wait till I spend time in Japan. I plan to live in at least 1 or 2 other countries in my life. I kind of want to live in Japan. Regardless, I think the culture change should be quite exciting. Just bring Dissidia along on your flight so you have something to eat up all that time with.
