Traveling to Malaysia next week. The AC power is 220V 50HZ..
Apparently the plugs are the large 3 prong plugs (type "G").
Trying to avoid buying a bunch of the type G plug adapters.
Is there any reason I cant buy a cheapo $10 power strip and one
plug adapter and then plug all of my 110/220 50-60HZ chargers
into the strip. I cant see a problem with the adapters since they
are dual voltage, but what about 220V in a 110V strip?
I think you already know it wouldn't be proper. It would probable work with no problems if you have a plain Jane power strip. A power strip with an illuminated power switch, MOVs, filters, etc. may have a problem with the 220.
what I suspected. thanks
I don't know this shop but there are plenty of adapters:
If you travel to a larger city you might be able to find them cheaper over there. RadioShack has adapters as well but IIRC also well over $10.

Not too sure about socket strips etc, but in the UK the 250VAC house wiring is all insulation tested at 500V.
As someone else mentioned - make sure the socket strip isn't surge protected with MOC/SIDAC devices.
Aside from that, short term use and not left unattended should get away with it.
-- MOC?
You know perfectly well that's a typo.
Is that your best standard of criticism these days?
It's always been his MO. He Nitpicks to prove his intelligence. ...to himself.
I wouldn't be so sure of that!

-- Then you admit to your fallibility?
What, you got a stiffie, again?
-- Interesting that you should take a reference to overkill and see an erect penis there, but then you and your boy-toy, Ian, seem to see penises everywhere.
Right. A flyswatter is a bit of overkill.
I can accidentally hit the key next to the one I aimed at - Oh shit the worlds gonna end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I though you were dense enough to seed a black hole - Oh man you're waaaaaay thicker than that!
Can't see yours - I seem to have misplaced my microscope.
-- Oh, my! That sounds like you're trying to be frightfully clever and serves to illustrate that every man's reach should exceed his grasp.
That was precisely my point, moron. You can't grasp it.
-- As you do with Larkin, you latch on to what your betters have to say and pretend their words were yours. Shame on you.
You're an idiot. No one home...
-- Who's slapping you around, then? When you're challenged and you can't defend your position, instead of just saying "touche" and conceding the point, you always try to extricate yourself from the jam you've gotten yourself into with invective.
