Most laptops have a brick power supply with a separate mains lead
(either IEC or "cloverleaf"). You could just buy one of these when
you get there.

If you have multiple items to power up (e.g. laptop, camera, phone)
then take a 4-way power strip with you and fit a local plug to it when
you get there.
