Hmm, if I recall correctly, my old thinkpad's power supply is polarized but it plugged right in to the outlet.. i could be wrong...

On the note of sunglasses, its "acceptable" for girls as its a fashion statement... for guys, you are likely to be mistaken for Yakuza member if you walk around with them. I suppose it should be OK if you are in a more quiet tourist area, but definitely avoid wearing them around Namba Osaka and Shinjuku...
