 |
|
Hello everyone! I'm moving to Seoul in two weeks, and I was wondering if I need to bring a converter (to change the voltage). My Korean friend said I don't need to buy plug adapters, bec. they're cheaper in Korea ($5 compared to $10 at Radioshack or Best Buy). But she couldn't understand completely what I meant by a converter.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks!  |

What kind of plugs do you have? Given that you just assumed everybody would know, I'm going to guess you're American.
What are you converting? Computers usually have converters built-in. If it's small consumer electronics, it might be easier to buy new stuff here. |

When I arrived in Korea it was a little overwhelming at first. Finding a store that sold adaptors was the last thing on my mind.
I suggest that you pick up a universal adapter from your local office supply store. They have prongs to fit any outlet in the world and they are around $10-$20 depending on what country you are from. You just plug whatever cord you want into it and it has different shaped prongs that you set to fit in any outlet.
I doubt that you'll need a converter. |
