When traveling through the EU how many electrical plugs is one likely to run into, and is the electric current stable in the EU. So that a laptop computer adapter wont go bonkers, and clocks keep various times.
In my experience the wiring in DE, NE, BE, LUX, & SUI is the best in Europe, you'll find locals using their laptops while they're in the bath becuase of the inbuilt earthing system. cheers,
220 volts AC in the bath tub, are they nuts (!) ? 110 volts may tickle a bit, but I would not want to test what 220 volts would do. The real question is, are most plugs the two round holed 220 volt 50 cycles plugs?

It's not just the voltage that matters, it is the current as well.
While a few amps would not be too good through a human body at a couple of hundred volts, it is certainly possible to send **several thousand volts** through the body with no ill-effects if the current is measured in fractions of a milliamp. In my wild days, many years ago as a schoolchild in the science lab, I once passed around 10,000 volts through me with not even a tickle....
You can develop 5000 volts on a nylon carpet
