Won't work without an extension cord, as the wall or plastic faced outlets are two pronged only.

I had no idea this was this case when I got there in March so maybe look for a 2 pronged extension cord that you can plug a 3 pronged one into and bring it with you.
just buy a simple 3 prong to 2 one at the electronics store. the 3rd small prong is the ground i think. i've seen some people completely break that off their battery cords and it works fine, but i would not recommend that. it shouldn't cost more than 5 dollars for the 3 to 2 outlet converter thing.
