Hello! I’m a tourist and I arrived from Brazil in July 11th, and suffered an accident here in Seul, had to get surgery on my ankle in The Dream Hospital in Yeoksam and there stayed 4 days. Now I am at the hotel and need a wheelchair and can’t find anything on the internet, need rent or buy. Could you please help me, renting one or pointing some place I can get one?
