Hi

i am currently in Seoul. was wondering if withdrawing cash directly from Citibank ATM using my Malaysian Citibank ATM card a good idea?
Will it give me the best exchange rate? Also, is there any transaction/service fee ? As the citibank website does not state much information on this.

Thanks!

hi all reporting from seoul,

to withdraw money with best exchange rate, try this to get a citibank ATM card. there is citibank ATM everywhere in korea.

no transaction fee on Big Citibank ATM machine (those with 2 screens)
small ATM machine (Citibank) with only 1 screen charges Transaction Fee of 3000Won for every 300,000Won withdrawn.

weather here are dry and not that cold at day time. u can wear t-shirt at day time and a light jacket at night.

will report back here if find out more things here.

cheers

just go open a Citibank savings/checking account and get an ATM card (Rm8).
maybank dun think it will work. even our mobile phones dun work here Lol

found out another thing, for our GSM mobile phone to work here,
u need to enable 3G. their mobile service is using data.

1. How much minimum shud i bring for a trip around 8days. > depends what u want to do.
2. What are d recommended places to visit? > nami island, jeju island, myeongdong, dongdaemun, angguk, itaewon, DMZ
3. Can i use Maybank Visa Debit Card there? > yes

stay at myeongdong better. dongdaemun looks like petaling street. and not very clean too.

myeongdong and namdaemun is walking distance.
dongdaemun is 2 subway station away

i prefer to stay at myeongdong.
dongdaemun is like petaling street IMO. lol
