Hi,
Anyone know where to find cables in Yongsan? Are they there?
Upstairs in the computer shops or downstairs in the accessories?
Time is of the essence because I'm on the way out of town and don't want to look for an hour or two.
Looking for an S-video out to RCA A/V jacks specifically. They must be everywhere really...
Thanks for any tips.

I remember seeing them at an outdoor booth, just where you cross from Yongsan Station over to the Etland building.

I need that cable too. I was hoping to just pick it up in Carrefour or Walmart.

If all else fails, they will make it for you in the basement of one of the main buildings at Yongsan. (I can't recall exactly which one). Down there, there are many chip sales shops and also cable vendors. They will merge any two ends you may need.

Get to the sunin building. If you enter the building facing west you will see two doors - take the door on the right. Inside you will see two choices - again left or right - choose right. Keep walking eventually on the right you will see a shop with connectors and cables of every imaginable kind.

I was there today.

Industrial strength,

My Korean friend found this cable on an internet shopping site.

3000 won! 4000 delivery charge! Crying or Very sad

Here's the link.
