Will my Magellan Sport trak Color GPS work in South Korea?
We are going to Korea for a vacation, its an older unit maybe made in 2004, I don't have a cable to update it just the unit itself. Just wondering if it'll work or am I wasting energy bringing it along?

Why would anyone want to work in South Korea
Why would anyone want to work in South Korea?
Everyone tries to get away from that country. Why would any talented, skilled person want to work in that country of all countries? They spend their time protesting everything American even though we built up that country and made it what it is today. If the United States had not helped that country many, many times in the past it would be on the same level as Zambia.

Maybe because they think Koreans.

I'm trying to hook up with a military contractor over there. The thing is that when you elect to work overseas, you have to accept certain tradeoffs. When I worked two years in Kuwait, I had to deal with the Islamic culture. After two years, I was fed up. South Korea may have its drawbacks as well, but it gives me a chance to see some of the rest of the world, and it is just a few hours away from Japan, so I can play tourist. I can guess that more people want the United States to be an ally than those who protest as the North would overrun the South without US aid.

Everyone tries to get away? What do you have against South Korea? All your questions are so anti-Korean. You know what, fine, why don't you go on a protest to get our soldiers out of Korea. Go on a protest. Lets ban all LG, Samsung, Hyundai, Kia, Cowon, FILA, Helio, Iriver, etc. Boycott them all. Go ahead.

no unless u have a power adaptor, korea is 220 bolts and america is 120 bolts, big difference. and besides, there is a another problem, the american cord hole is just like two sticks. well in korea, the cord hole is two circles.
2 :
More than likely your computer will work no problem. As the other person said, the plugs are different, but it shouldn't be a problem to get an adapter to change them. You can pick it up for less than a dollar when you get here from a hardware/Walmart-style store; you should get a Korean person to help you. Another option is to buy a new power cord ($1-2). If you have a laptop, there is probably nothing that you have to do but use the converter. Just remember if you have a three prong inlet that there is no grounding prong (that round thing that goes below the other two inlets), there are only two inlets that look similar to that (round). This shouldn't be a problem though. There are two main things you have to make sure of though. If you have a power brick, then check on the label to make sure it says "110~240" or something similar. If not, then you either need to purchase a new brick with similar connections or use a transformer. Again, a Korean person can help you with this. This actually applies to all electric items, not just with a brick. Just look for the label and anything that says 110. If you have a desktop computer, there is a little switch on the back of the power supply. Once you get to Korea, MAKE SURE that the little red switch that says 110 is changed to 220, otherwise it will fry the power supply and maybe the whole computer. If you follow these simple steps, all your electronics will work just fine.

How does wireless internet work in South Korea
How does wireless internet work in South Korea?
I have a macbook pro and am going to be a student in yonsei university. If I have my own apartment how do i get wireless internet service? Do I have to go personally to the company? Is it already set up standard? What are the monthly prices usually?

at first, in Seoul, free-wireless internet is able to use. but you should endure, some slow speed. and second, near university, there's another wireless service. that's free, too. and moderate speed. most of students are using university wireless internet. at last, though you can set LAN connection up at apt, using wireless is possible -- not that speedy. So far is free-wireless. so, you can pay about 20,000 won (about 18 bucks i thought) to use wireless internet. it is the best choices to above all. so, good luck~
