Can anyone tell me if electronics are reasonable priced in Korea compared to Ireland or the UK?
I need a new Ipod and a laptop and don't know whether to buy here or wait till I get to Korea.... |

If you buy in Ireland you can claim your VAT back at the airport. (Final airport when leaving the EU - so depends on your route for which airport you do it at.)
You MUST get a special form filed in when you buy the laptop. That may involve asking several people until you find one who has a clue, some shops don't get many requests and may try to fob you off with a VAT receipt.
Easy procedure, ask me if you want more details. (You can't use the laptop before you go, so that is a condiseration. I wasn't asked to show it at the Customs refund area but they can do if the mood takes them.)

| Buy before or after you go to Korea, don't buy Korean. Enough said? |

Alright then, trivia quiz-
Who replaced Brian and who replaced Brian's replacement? And finally, what is Brian's full name? |

Mick Taylor replaced Brian, Ronnie Wood replaced Mick. Mick was a much superior guitar player but Ronnie is mates with Keef so it was a done deal. |

| Put it this way, the K-government slaps a high tax on anything that's imported, so I should imagine that Korea is more expensive when it comes to Ipod. |

I don't know, was Brian really his middle name or something? Don't know the answer. Can I have the prize anyway, is it an Ipod? |

Aww...you did so well... the final answer is....Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 � 3 July 1969).
Sorry, but the prize is only my undying respect for your oversized avatar! |
