i've seen that once, it was on a washing machine. you could go to electrician shops in Hawally, some are thrown about on random streets, otherwise I would suggest Tunis Street, ask around there. But, it is not usually found in Kuwait, so you might end up ordering it online.

If the laptop has a lead from the socket to the adaptor, buy a new lead with the appropriate plug.

For others about to face the same situation, buy a multi socket extention lead before you leave, cut off your home country plug, then fit the new country's plug to the cut lead.
