Hi im from New Zealand and will hopefully start teaching within a month.
I'm just wondering what type of power adapter and/or converter I need to get my electronics working in Korea.
Where do I get them?
Any info would be good. |

| Those local hosuewares mights would sell the plug adapter. I dont know if your appliances are universal voltage or what. Yongsan will sell the voltage converter, if need be. |

| Actually, the voltages between NZ and Korea are pretty similar so you just need a plug converter. Actually, you might experience a little bit of a lag - say if you had something with a motor in it, it might not reach max rpm - but nothing major. I ordered a waffle maker from NZ and was worried that I would need a converter box but I just bought a universal plug converter (5,000 W fancy shmacy one) from the local stationary store and now I get all the penguin shaped waffles my heart could ever desire. |
