yeah. and i don't know what specifically jonny thinks would be overwhelming, but if it's the density, that's just going to get worse. same with bright ads and signs and poo poo all over the place

i've never left the US and i only speak english! I'm sure it's common enough but, you know. i'm just a hillbilly

you'll do fine. because of the internet lots of koreans speak at least a little english now, and it's good to leave the us. it's not a good country

well poo poo this is kinda hosed up

my wife's ipad is pretty beat up and her applecare+ expires 3/17. they don't honor applecare+ in korea (way to go apple, that's real loving convenient), so she wants to ship it here for me to get it replaced

but when she went to the post office, they told her that they can't send an ipad via EMS. that sounded like bullshit to me, so i looked it up and found this

quote:

① 현재 우체국에서는 니켈류 배터리를 제외하고 충전해서 사용하는 배터리는 종류, 용량에 상관없이 발송 불가하며,
② 배터리 분리 가능할 경우 본체만 발송 가능, 아이패드 등 일체(내장)형도 예외없이 발송 불가
* 배터리가 포함된 물품 : 노트북, 휴대폰 무선충전기, 아이패드, 전자책, 아이폰, 이발기, 전자담배, 전자사전, 체온기, 호버 보드, 혈압계, 휴대폰, 블루투스 헤드셋, 완구·장남감 등

which afaict translates to

quote:

① Currently, the post office cannot ship rechargeable batteries, regardless of type or capacity, except for nickel batteries.
② If the battery is removable, only the main body can be shipped. All-in-one (built-in) models such as iPads cannot be shipped, without exception.
* Items containing batteries: laptops, wireless mobile phone charger, iPad, e-books, iPhone, hair clippers, electronic cigarettes, electronic dictionaries, thermometers, hover boards, blood pressure monitors, mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, toys, etc.

god loving damnit :argh:

apparently you can't use US applecare+ in korea, even though they offer applecare+ there. great loving going apple, this is extremely convenient
