Dell power supply

I left my Dell laptop's power-supply in Singapore. After asking around, I was told that it is likely that I will find a Dell charger in Denpassar only. So this morning I rented a scooter and drove into the city. And what an adventure it was. It took some time to get used to crossing an intersection with bikes coming from every direction at speed, how to pass slow traffic with a quick beep-beep and to not get lost at the same time. I had to buy petrol on the side of the road and got a puncture fixed at a small garage. In the end I probably found the only Dell charger on the island, negotiated the price down from Rp450k to Rp300k. Made in China, it fitted the laptop perfectly, but did not charge it.
