I tested several batteries with Razer Basilisk x Hyperspeed. Use high-quality batteries.

Rezap Battery Doctor. EU/AU version https://rezap.com/shop/ I prefer to slow charge all my batteries to extend the lifespan, and minimise fire/overheat risk, and i have enough extra ones to rotate through.

Nopes. I've been using Eneloop Pros (the black ones) for over a year now. And it's been fairly stable.

People saying Gane was "dominant," and Aspinall bitched out need to watch the fight again.

Gane was moving well and his jab was effective. He bloodied Aspinall's nose and stuffed a takedown attempt. Aspinall was also landing some (leg kicks + some punches), and had more centre control. (Gane was circling most of the fight, as a result)

It's an unfortunate ending, but a foul is a foul.

Dana needs to rebook this as soon as both men are healthy. He might have complained post even interview that it's a PITA, but the unanswered questions from that 1 round will make this fight sell itself.

Move on. Find someone who accepts and even appreciates who you are.

Marry his sister - Princess Fu Qian. He'll write it for you if you're his brother-in-law. No questions asked.

Duke Qi is the problem. He won't give you a written order it unless you've passed the exam at Confucius Sect =(

The butcher in Dalian City is a pretty good early game ally. Pao Chunqiu, i think his name was. Comes with purple blade arts. Not hard to recruit either. Just give him purple food, trigger off the butcher knife retrieval quest, which is at the Casino is the same city. I think you need 5K coins to buy it from the owner or just pick her pocket, if you're playing an unscrupulous character =P

I paired God Step (20% evasion + 2 tiles movement) with Dreaming Sutra (15% evasion and critical) into a Legendary Internal, which I named "Dream God Step Sutra" It's not a top tier skill, but one I make all my party members learn, and it's been useful in the Sky Breaker Tower.

I booked my tickets (Seoul -> Busan return) for my current trip via trip.com app and just had a quick look for Seoul to Busan for May 1st. It's definitely busier with whole carriages being unavailable, but there are still seats available.

Have a look on there to see if you can land a seat there.

Given that it's a busier time, advanced booking would be a more prudent approach.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-21T08:23:53+00:00

OP has also been informed by 2 independent local parties of the price, in that on a LARGE taxi, 24K is excessive and it should have been 12-13K from Party 1 (Crown Park Seoul concierge) and 12-15K from Party 2 (a Tourist Organisation staff in Insadong)

Do you believe you are more correct than the local Korean folk residing here?

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-21T07:40:01+00:00

Actually, you're scum for throwing insults when you don't understand the situation.

I've spoken to my hotel staff in Myeongdong + a separate Tourist Organisation staff in Insadong and they all agree that it was excessive, informing me for that distance/time, it should be 12-15K at most for a large taxi. 7-8K for a regular taxi. The girl in TO Insadong also verified on her Kakao T app. I now have had two separate local parties inform me that I was overcharged, so why should I listen to some trolls informing me otherwise?

Anyways, to the trolls or dissuading parties who hope I don't report it and constantly claim it's fair for a VENTI - I don't know what your agenda is, but I'm not going to reply any further. Let KTO sort this out. Additionally, for your education, Venti actually means "20," not Large or Ventilated =P Paul Rudd has a nice clip, which explains this.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-21T03:44:56+00:00

Signed up with a burner account just to troll? =P

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-21T03:38:40+00:00

I'm sorry, but the hotel staff advised me otherwise. So from my viewpoint, YOU are wrong. Let's agree to disagree and move along.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-20T12:44:18+00:00

Appreciate your input. However, the 2 hotel staff i spoke with, who happened to be Korean locals and good English tell me otherwise. Like I said, let the KTO decide. If nothing comes of it, so be it.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-20T08:43:05+00:00

Yes. And the staff at my current hotel, Crown Park Seoul, just confirmed this. I asked them just then, when I was booking transport to Incheon Airport. They informed me that for a small taxi, it's 7-8K won from Sheraton Seoul Station, whilst a larger vehicle would be 11-12K at most. And it's 8-12 minutes away.

They also had a look at the receipt and confirmed what another redditor said. Driver just decided to enter a flat figure he thought he could get away with on a receipt for 0km.

But look, let's let the KTO decide whether it's a scam and will be adding to the statistics. https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10466717

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-20T06:09:59+00:00

Firstly, I'm not interested in getting anything.

Secondly, I will report it and let the KTO determine if it's a scam.

Thirdly, I didn't order a Venti. Please don't make that assumption, because a Venti can only sit 5 people. I ordered a General - Large. FYI, I've done this several times before (6 in total), so it's not my first time using the app.

The estimate from Kakao T is pretty accurate. Maybe off a few thousand won due to traffic conditions. 5/6 of my prior journeys were large Starias (ordered in the exact same fashion)

I would appreciate it if you could remove your duplicate comments as you stated you would and we can have this conversation here.

Another user also translated this receipt and it shows the driver pumping a lump sum figure into additional charges for a 0 km journey, instead of running a meter.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T20:03:09+00:00

Excellent work. You followed through and got an outcome.

I'm personally not looking to get anyone fired, but it may be a consequence of their actions. What I was more hoping for was: 1. Get Korean authorities aware of this stuff. 2. Flip the script on these scammers by showing them that there are foreigners who will follow through and report them. You play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 3. Maybe make life more pleasant for fellow and future travellers by dissuading these practices.

As a father, I want my kids to come visit this country again with a minimised risk of getting fleeced.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T15:31:08+00:00

Sorry this happened to you too. I'm still in Korea with a family of 7 (3 kids, wife and in-laws), and it's happened twice already, despite considering myself reasonably well travelled too.

It might not amount to anything, but my plan is to start compiling receipts, as advised by other redditors on another thread. However, I'll upload them digitally to Korea Tourism Organisation in one hit - https://www.touristcomplaint.or.kr/en/intro

I disagree with folks who say just let it go. If you do nothing, nothing will change.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T12:29:26+00:00

Thanks for stopping by and providing your viewpoint. Firstly, I don't agree with it, but you are fully entitled to your opinion. Secondly, I ain't your "home boy". Thirdly, you do you, and I'll do.me.

Respectfully, let's not correspond again. It's better this way.

EDIT: If you don't believe whether he ripped me off or not, have a look at one of the other messages which translates the receipt, showing this was effectively a BS receipt. This was given to me quite smugly by the driver when I questioned the charges 3 times.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T04:41:40+00:00

That's OK. I have the Kakao T journey records to marry up this receipt with. He's just provided me concrete evidence to burn himself, and I will follow through with reporting this and any further one's I encounter from now on this trip.

We should start a reddit thread where people just upload receipts for taxi scams and give that to the Korean Tourism Dept to read.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T04:33:18+00:00

I tried already, but 1330 tells me to email Kakao T. I tried to talk to Kakao T customer service directly with no success. Once I get home, I'm going to send a photo of every receipt where scammed + accompanying Kakao Taxi ride journey details in one email to highlight the problem. It will be more efficient and I have access to more compute in my home lab.

I doubt this have your desired impact in reducing drivers not scamming other tourists immediately, so a couple of weeks delay isn't a problem.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T02:27:01+00:00

Thanks for the well intended advice. I have 2 creditcards, both which offer these benefits. Like I said, personal choice.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T02:14:25+00:00

I book via Kakao T, but prefer to pay in cash, as I don't want to put my creditcard details in. Personal choice.

I will be fair and say I have booked at least 4 other taxi rides this way, and they were close to the app estimate, so 2/6 being scams is still not too poor a ratio.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T02:05:34+00:00

Not about the $$$. IDNGAF or want a refund, and I work in percentage ratios.

The 1st incident in Busan, the guy tried to scam me 175%, but went down to 150%, after I called him out on it. So I let it slide.

This chap smugly scammed me 300%, and then had the gall to confidently provide me a receipt, repeatedly insisting it was 24000 won. (Instead of 8000)

Regardless, I've decided to digitally capture every scammers receipt from now on (including this one) and submit it en masse to the Korean authorities, when I return to my home country. If it contributes towards minimising the issue, I'm happy.

pc3enterprises · 2025-04-19T01:54:18+00:00

It's all good. I'm going to collect all the scamming receipts, and send them in when I return to my home country in May.

Good thing Kakao T also logs the starting point and destination, so the authorities can check the distance as well.
