Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knew how good my chances are of picking up a wireless signal in Seoul, Korea. Trying to decide whether to splurge on a wireless card, after finding out my room doesn't have internet access. I'm pretty much located in the middle of a busy and active city, so I'm guessing pretty good?

Additionally, I spoke to a radioshack guy and he told me I don't need to buy a transformer for the lower voltage here b/c the adapter thing already does it. Just wanted to double check on what he said...
