Nice update brosef.

As an aside, as elder US Military Korea Goon, if you're PCSing here or need anything related to that side of life in Korea, feel free to hit me up on Kakao, Gmail, or on here. Username is the same.

I always thought you were joking when you said you live in Korea :colbert:

I haven't heard this one before, details please.

Rumour is that on the day of Sewol capsizing President Park was missing for 7 hours, possibly with Yun-Hoe Cheong. Sankei Newspaper's Seoul correspondent wrote an article and was prosecuted for spreading false rumour.

Does the UK extradite to Korea?

afaik nope, but UK can deny entry. And no I won't be prosecuted because I only stated that there is rumour :v:

That's no goon!

And yes there was 'alleged rumour', and talking about it won't get me prosecuted or extradited. However actively spreading rumour is (via whatever method), hence why that correspondent was prosecuted. Also Blue House probably investigates people talking about it in secret.

If you really want to save some change you can exchange the bulk of your money at money changers in Myeongdong. The exchange rate is generally near the base rate. But depends on how much your time and effort is worth.

Banks charge commission and don't offer good rate. Itaewon or Myeongdong are both good and many exchange shops will offer decent rate for USD because it's circulated fast (think of rich Koreans stacking up USD somewhere in case poo poo hits the fan :v:

There are Apple authorized service centers in Seoul. However there aren't any Apple Stores in Korea :v:

Good luck getting your applecare honored in korea. Generally its better to wait until you're in a country with a real Apple Store.

idk, I sent my (sister's) iphone 5 to be repaired for free on Monday just because it was a defect and is part of replacement program (that my sister didn't loving bother).
