Can anyone point me to the best place to change USD to KRW in Seoul? Do we change at banks or do they have money changers like in Malaysia?
Thanks

QUOTE(tientien @ Apr 9 2012, 06:31 PM) if u can understand chinese here's link for best rates in myeongdong area. 1usd will get u around 10won higher than other changer. Unfortunately, I don't understand Chinese. Can anyone help translate please? I can only take note of the location LOL.Btw, I'm flying in with AA evening flight and I want to buy the Korea Pass (for the free transport top up). Does anyone know if the counter at the airport is still open at night? Looks like it can only be purchased at the airport. And is it worth it to redah all the traffic to get the coupon book from Plaza Korea? Traffic jam is terrible there |

QUOTE(Listiani @ Apr 18 2012, 03:35 PM) Can I just ask you abt international roaming. I am using Nokia HP. Nothing fancy. No 3G whatsoever. Can I use this phone in Korea for international calls or sms to Malaysia?? I am using Celcom. I don't want to surfing internet whatsoever. I can do it in the guesthouse. I just need to call or sms my family in Malaysia. I think you have to bring a 3G phone. I brought my iPhone, and with 3G turned off I couldn't get any signal. Once I turned on 3G -- full bar!On 3G you can roam only. Off your data and just ON you mobile network with 3G service. Then you're able to call or SMS. Most phones when they Off the data they will automatically go into 2G network instead of 3G. Surf net you can use Wifi Btw, I found that money changers in Namdaemun offered much better rates than Myeongdong (1130 vs 1120) |

The place is jam packed with people last Sunday so avoid going during weekend if you can. |
