[SOLVED] International Internet Help

Well I didn't know where to put this but oh well.

I'm wondering that if I go travel to a different country, do I need something to access internet there? If so, can you tell me. Thankz

It depends on what country and what kind of machine you plan on using. I'm in the US, I've used the Internet in Italy, Germany, and the UK, works just like it does here.

You may have to adjust your wireless card to the European frequencies, though I managed to connect to several hotspots with the US settings.

I'm Korean so I go to Korea for awhile during the summer.

I'm not sure exactly what Korea uses, but I can't imagine they're not using the standard 802.11 b/g wireless.
