Was wondering why there are no dryers in Korea? Having to dry my clotes on a rack is getting cumbersome, especially since I'm barely getting to the door as is with lack of space.

They're all over the place. You need to buy a washer/dryer combo unit. It's one machine that does both. I got mine a year or so ago for around 550,000.

I plan on arriving early next year and I was wondering the same thing. I'm too lazy to dry clothes on a rack! But will the electric bill murder me with a dryer?

I've been using washer/dryer combo units here in Korea since 2000. No huge electricity bills and the clothes dry fine.

If I ever go back to Canada I'll be bringing my combo unit.

I've got a solar powered dryer that I could part with. W200,000 OBO.

Electricity is peanuts here, compared to the UK anyway. Don't know the comparison with North America?
