i mean on d go. is free wifi easily available

Most cafes, restaurants, etc. Train stations, some malls. I seldom hogging on the phone during my past visits as I was well distracted. Taking pictures, shopping, sightseeing etc. Really enjoying my time.

I only used wifi during/while dining, hangout at cafes etc.

Sorry cant really help you on giving a firm answer on that. I also forgot about the speed/connectivity. Enough for surfing I guess. I do recall one time when I was in a cafe in E-dae. The wifi was down for more than a week. Not sure what happened.

the first train is usually 5.30am for most places. if u stay on line 5, it will be much easier, if you wanna take the bus, as the post above, some buses to incheon do stop by at gimpo

which area are you staying? dont worry, i'm no stalker brows.gif

if you take the bus, from myeongdong to gimpo national will take around 60 minutes (the bus number is 6*** something).

train would be faster (from dongdaemun history and culture park to gimpo will take less than 30 minutes), bt you're not staying anywhere near line 5 so to transfer from one line to another might be a fuss

if you got some free time maybe u can try and take the train to clock the time? line 5 got some interesting stops like yeouido

Yeah, I think should clock the time when we are in seoul going back n forth to the places. After that we can decide weather to take train or bus or taxi biggrin.gif

hahaha bcos last time got people buy dvd player and game consoles in korea and bring back to malaysia, where they instantly became junk


back to your Q, if the chargers are from malaysia, then you just need to bring an adapter. no need the transformer and the complicated stuff smile.gif

try to look for WA-9 or WA-9C. these guys can take almost every plug


inb4 i know how to embed youtube but not picture doh.gif

So its not advisable to buy their electrical appliances then? I have no plans to buy any, but just in case I stumble on some useful and cheap ones.

those appliances like tv, dvd player, ps3 etc usually have their own regional code, country code and zone lock. lets say you buy a tv... how will it find and configure the channels? can it run in PAL or NTSC?

but items like mp3s, voice recorder or phones are ok. for the phone, you need to ask the expert whether the phone can be unlocked or not
