have you ever checked your charger specs? nowadays most appliances are usually 100-240V compatible.

if they are, just go to hardware store and got those adapters to match your charger with the wall socket in korea


if not, you have to find a 100-240V compatible charger sweat.gif

Unfortunately, I don't understand Chinese. Can anyone help translate please? I can only take note of the location LOL.

Btw, I'm flying in with AA evening flight and I want to buy the Korea Pass (for the free transport top up). Does anyone know if the counter at the airport is still open at night? Looks like it can only be purchased at the airport.

And is it worth it to redah all the traffic to get the coupon book from Plaza Korea? Traffic jam is terrible there sweat.gif

From what I gather, it is better for us to use T-Money instead of Korean Pass. Maybe unker stimix want to add more info on this??

Hmnn yeah hor.. I updated the guy posting about Korean pass but not T-Money bcos it's part of the 1st link on pg wan..OK updating this info on pg1:
QUOTE
T-money Card
The T-money Card can be used for local buses and subways in Seoul and the surrounding Gyeonggi-do area. By using T-money, you can get a 100-won discount off the basic cash fare. It provides you with even more of a discount when making transfers. Perhaps the biggest benefit of this particular card is that it allows you to avoid the hassle of buying tickets, and the balance on the card minus 500 won can be refunded at any time during its use. T-money is a pre-paid card and the card price is 2,500 won. Users of the T-money card can get mileage points, which can be converted into T-money.

Card price : 2,500 won.
Vendors : Nearly all convenience stores, including GS25, and subway ticket booths.
Use : To pay fares for buses and subways in the Seoul and Gyeonggi area and build mileage points based on the total of fares paid. The mileage can be used to pay fares later on. To do so, the 16-digit number printed on the back of the card needs to be registered at www.t-money.co.kr.
Recharging locations : Vendor locations Refund locations : GS25 convenience store
