I`m going to guess that the older outlets aren`t/weren`t polarized. This place was built in 2004.
However, I can recall using polarized plugs in the non-polarized outlets and never really having any trouble getting them to fit. It was tight, but went in without any real problems.

Either way, they sell extension cords and adapters at the 100 yen shop.

Well, if my stuff doesn't work I can always make that visit to the 100 yen store like Nyororin said.

I received my passport in the mail today. It was very quick seeing as I sent it in Sunday night.

On another note, are there any things I should not do when shaving facial hair? Does it matter where in the house I shave?

I think that will be up to the family you`re staying with. Some people think it`s bad to shave in the shower, while others don`t want hair in their sink. It`s best to just ask them where you should shave.

As long as you don't leave any stubble visible i don't think they'll mind is the general rule i've found especially when living with women!
