Hi guys I arrived in Korea 3 days ago and so far can't find any adapter that fits one of my 3 prong plugs from australia. Anyone have ideas on where in Seoul to find them??? I am in Bundang.

Thanks

I got mine from Emart. It was about 11,000 won for a universal adapter. The part you plug into fits any kind of prong, and you change the prongs depending on where you are. It's been really useful because I just take the appropriate connector for wherever I go on holiday. The European/Korean prongs also fit the Korean sockets way better than the adapters I bought from Australia, which are loose and always lose contact.

I got an extra universal adapter if you need one. It has the round Korean prongs and you would plug whatever you have into it. I bought it when I first got to Korea, but ended up with another one that a teacher left at our school.
