				| 
 |  
				| do they sell power strips that are instantly compatible with North american plugs or will i need to attach a plug adapter to every single outlet? Considering that my electronics are all dual-voltage, is it safe to have them all connected to via a power strip and plugged into one korean outlet? |  |

				| I wouldnt bring one from the US and use a plug converter on that.  Voltage is too much.  You`ll have to use a Korean power bar and then plug converters for each one.  Unless you have intercompatible electronics that can use one plug in all. |  |

				| Well yeah we`re in Korea.  Those little plug converters are dirt cheap.  500 won or less for one. |  |
