It was major culture shock arriving at a hotel in the US and not having a kettle to boil water for tea.
I vaguely remember there being a comment on IRC about this, mostly because I was so completely confused by the question.
kettles in the US are very slow because of the 110v power supply.
And I would _never_ have thought of this. Does make me wonder, however, if this means that electric kettles in the US are _still_ faster than stovetop, based on other comments in here.
