buying an iphone in south korea: shutter sound? tax refund? [4k 2023]

2023-11-12に共有
I remember going on Reddit/Youtube/TikTok, looking everywhere for this information: does the shutter sound disappear after we leave the country?!?

So many contradictory answers 🤦🏻‍♀️ yes? no?? yes?!

Answer: Yes, it does.

I hope this 5-min video can help you prepare for this purchase in South Korea! 🇰🇷

about me: 29-yo, born in France 🇫🇷 raised by Portuguese immigrants parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🇵🇹 I never had the chance to travel when I was younger so, as soon as I managed to save up some money, I took off 🛫 At 19yo, I moved to live for a year in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 At 22, I moved for an internship in Miami, USA 🇺🇸 before getting another opportunity to work and study in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 At 24, I did my last master degree semester as an exchanged student in São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷 Fell in love with the country, got a job, and been based in Rio de Janeiro ever since. After some personal health issues, I realized life is too short not to explore the world more… I’ve always loved documenting my days (journaling, scrapbooking) and knowing the next months would be full of travels, I thought, why not vlog it? I’m sure future-me will be very happy to look back at these videos! Hope you do too ☺️
