| Some things are just impossible to find here, sucks to pay a bundle to Amazon.com to ship, plus half the sellers on Amazon won't even ship here. |

Just get a universal power strip.

It will accept US 2 prong, US 3 prong as well as several varieties of 2 or 3 prong round pin plugs.
They are readily available at home-plus, lotte-mart, e-mart, etc. They cost between 5000-10,000 won (depending on the number of outlets and the current rating (5-30 amps).
OR did you mean a strip with flat prongs on the plug side? |

Yeah I think that would work. I'm going from KR outlet --> transformer from 220 to 110 --> then international powerstrip to plun in a bunch of my cool USA stuff.
I'll try those places, so far I always just see the regular KR strips... |

| Wait, I think I'd still be hosed...cause I need to plug this strip into a transformer that uses a USA 2-prong. These strips are all made for KR outlets. |

| Just go to gmarket.co.kr then search for "110v" and you'll find some. |

Never thought someone so intelligent, worldly and has nothing but local friends would need to ask such a question on Dave's.  |

They don't know where to get a USA power thingy.
Now for a hard one; I need ZIP100 discs for a vintage piece of gear. These are no longer produced as far as I know, can't find anywhere in KR, eBay has some but most of them won't ship here.
What, KR is too cool for ZIP100? |
