I'll be going to Japan and I am wondering how do I charge my iPod. I have those normal USB to wall charger that I bought at some computer shop and it has 3 pins like the usual Malaysian plugs. So if I want to use it in Japan what do I do? I know i can probably buy one of those international electrical adapter from those shops that sell traveling stuffs, so that's not a worry. What I am worried is, will the voltage there affect my iPod? Japan uses 100V while Malaysia uses 230V. So I am guessing that if I charge anything that I bought there in Malaysia, it will be fried but what about vice versa?

Won't fry I guess, since Japan's voltage is lower than ours.

If I'm not wrong, those wall chargers have built in voltage regulators right? To accommodate different voltages of different countries.

The apple wall charger has a built in voltage regulator, from 110 to 240V if I'm not mistaken. You just need to get the apple travel adapter pack.
