All-
Does anyone have leads on where to get cheap yet good ACs in the Kangnam area? I was thinking about getting a used one. OR should I just get a new one from Kim's Club or Hi Mart?
OR does anyone have confidence that I can grin it and bear it without an AC this summer?
Thank you in advance!

I took one look at the price of a/cs at the local Carrefour and just about flipped. I ended up walking out with two 18-inch fans instead.
When the heat wave hits I'll likely do the same as I did the last couple of years-- which is to sit back at home, with an icy towel around my neck from the freezer, and suck down popsicles until my eyes water.
Edit: Oh yeah... and one more thing: make sure you replace your bedding with one of those bamboo coverings. Once you get past the splinters, they're a LOT cooler to sleep on. |

I paid 150,00 for my used western-style in-window unit hoping that it would get me through a season or two. This is its fifth summer with me and my friendship with it is second only to my friendship with my computer (I don't get out much). |

If you can speak Korean, or if you have a Korean friend, you can find a good deal in the free classified street tabloids that are available in many areas throughout Korea.
I've found the Korean Yellowpages (in English) to be a good source for trade.
