I purchased a 220 to 110 transformer in Cebu and brought it back with me to Korea.
However the plug will not fit into Korean outlets. Are there adpters to remdy this- have looked in the local stores with no luck.

What kind of plug is it? I know I'Park sells them in Seoul. If you are not in Seoul you can go to Gmarket.

you have 2 options:
1) get an adapter - 500 won from any chunwon store, alpha stationary store or the street side of the nanjin arcade at yongsan.

2) cut the plug off and put on a Korean one. Takes about 60 seconds (and a screwdriver) and you can get a Korean style plug in the hardware/lighting section of ANY department store (home-plus, e-mart, etc.)
