Does anyone know where one could pick up such a thing? I'd like to be able to recharge my camera whilst on vacation. Or,...do you think picking one up in Toronto would be easier?

Thanks for any replies!

I know how to shop in both countries. I just don't know where to shop for an adaptor. Thanks for the reply, though.

300-500 won for round (Korea) to flat (north America) plug adapters at virtually any stationary shop in Korea including Alpha Stationary.

You can also find them at the chunwon stores.

You can also get them on the street side vendors of the nanjin arcade at yongsan electronics market.

K, thanks Captain Condesention!
(I was really looking to get one before I left - but it's good to know they're readily available back home for idiots like me.)

Ttom - that is helpful,...thank you. (No one I've asked in person knew, including the dude at the electronics dept at Lotte Mart!)

Where are you?

Oh, you can also pick them up in the electronics store at the airport just after you go through security (but they will cost you about 10x more).

If you're already in Canada, you could also try any Korean supermarket. I just bought one in Burnaby, BC for a buck.
