Laptop
Problems arose with my laptop lately. The piece in the computer that connects to the power supply became loose. It was working on and off for awhile; but since last weekend, I'd been offically without a computer (which, by the way, made me very productive).
Even though it was under warranty, I didn't bring the all-important receipt to Korea to prove that.
So Craig and I took it to Yongsan this morning (electronics part of Seoul) to see if someone could fix it for a decent price. Without English, we managed to find someone to look at it. They had to replace it with a new piece - with the price coming to....1,760W (a whopping $1.75). The labour in Canada alone would have cost me $50.
So there's my lesson to be learned. If I ever start complaining about Korea, I will think about the $1.75 which gave me access to 4 more months of emails, eat my dolsot bibimbap and hold my tongue.
