Dear /k,
I have 2 questions:
1) I have bought 2 Type C-G (Korea to Malaysia) plug adapter to be use in Korea next month. The question in, can i connect a Malaysia 4 point extension to this plug so i can have 4 power point to use to a single wall socket (to connect to different Malaysia phone chargers)? Coz last time i tried this in France, the extension blown after a while, not sure if that extension is memang rosak or caused by the power voltage incompatibility in France. (which shouldn't be i think since...it's 230V compared to 240V, just 10V difference and both running at same 50Hz). Korea is 220V@60Hz (most phone charger runs at 220-240V and 50/60Hz, so shouldn't be problem either.
2) Korean seems to have lots of cards for transport. Mainly the T-CARD (which acts like touch and go) and the M-PASS (which is like the Rapid Rail Weekly passes). There are also many other cards, dunno what Seoul Pass, City pass and dunno what other pass. So freaking confusing! Why don't they just use 1 like Malaysia! https://www.korea4expats.com/article-tmoney...smart-card.html
Which card is best?
Tenkiu.
yes you can bring along an extension to use to single wall socket no problem.I have 2 questions:

Tenkiu.
theirs is 220v but many modern electrical has auto switching so nothing to worry about.
but like every electrical extension you have to be aware of the total amps load or else kabloom.
BTW their standard 2 pin socket is not the same as ours.
ours can be used but will be loose.
Their transport card can be used for all bus or lrt.
can buy and reload at convenience stores like 7-eleven.
they can pay you back the balance minus a fee if you do not use finish.
