long story short but i need to use a fan (those cheap 12" white desk fans) to sleep at night. the issue i have is when going to another country they never seem to work as the power seems too weak to spin the blades with any sort of decent speed. it's happened again to me now while in greece, but it also happened in america, turkey, cyprus.
is this due to the converter that allows me to put my uk plug into their sockets? i figured as it's just a simple fan there isn't much power required to spin the blades but they never work.
is there anything i can do to get a uk fan to work in another country or is the only solution to buy a fan from the country i'm in? (not ideal as like now often i'm in the middle of no where at some beach resort)

oddly the sound of air blowing over the ear i find soothing, and it totally drowns out all other noises, ringing being the main one.
