Nice job on the swap-meet. If i'd know earlier, i'd thrown a bunch of
redundant US plugs into the mix.

If folks are actually missing country specific adapters, i can also
highly recommend to just get a cheap IEC 60320/C7 to country specific
wall socket cable at any electrics store in country. In the US/EU
preferrably 2-prong.  The two prong gets you into a lot more wall
sockets than the three prong (especially in EU), and EU 2-prong also
fits in switzerland. And during travel, cable IMHO is always better
than the plug due to distance. And 2-prong cables are cheap and lightweight.

At home/office i use the 3-prong cables from apple though because
they're better against ground loop problems than 2 prong (including the
2 prong plugs). During travel, it doesn't matter that much (just run on 
battery during some VoIP call with ground-loop audio issues).
