|
|
When I left to come to Korea I thought there would be video games all over the place.
To my horror PC gaming is King! ("windows XP NoOo!!" says the mac)
My Mac and Nintendo feel scared.
I was wondering if anyone could recomend a good online store that ships to korea. I am in bad need of some "Brain Age" for my DS!
I know of Play-Asia and Lik-Sang, but they are kinda pricey.
Any advice? |

If you get to Yongsan station, exit the building heading towards digital space 9. Turn right, cross a long covered walking bridge and exit that building, you will see a parking lot. If you cross that and keep to the left side of the road, you will come to a bunch of small alley ways. One goes down a flight of stairs, there are tons of game booths there for PC etc. You can also cross the street and into another basement, tons of PC stuff there |

You can get DS games in the I-Mall at Yongsan, but I wouldn't reccomend it. I bought Meteos and the game was all in Japanese. Not a big deal for a game like that, but Animal Crossing would be a nightmare.
Your best bet would be to get a friend to send over stuff, or like elric said, check out ebay.
Are you using the wifi connection with your DS? My dongle is on route - am very excited about kicking some 'real' butt in Mario Kart! |

Thank you for the advice!
I can't wait till I get paided so I can take a road trip to yongsan.
It sounds magical.
Also, I don't have wifi yet but when I save up and get a new mac I'm getting and Airport!! Then the mariokart will be zooming along!
Also Also, does anyone know any games stores in Daejeon? |
