been staying in Seoul for 1 year now. Stayed in Yeosu for 3 months as wel (loved this place).
Traveled to Busan, Yeosu, Jeonju, Suncheon, Nami, and next week Donghae and Jeju.

Used to club a lot in Itaewon and Apujeong area. Gangnam was also one of my regular place for cafe and drinking but, after a while, it gets real boring.

My favorite place is Busan so far and also Suncheonman Bay. Prefer those nature nature place. 2 more months to go before I am back to Malaysia for good.

I used to withdraw thru Citibank ATMs (widely available), using Maybank debit card, there's a RM10.60 charges, but rates would be better than money changer in KL.
Advisable if you're withdrawing 700k-1mil.
Other than that, bring USD to exchange at Myeongdong also better rates.

Are you sure about this? The better rate could be due to fluctuations in favour as you withdraw through ATM presumably 1 or 2 days later? Some of the money changers - their spreads are competitive..like maybe 1.2% for Won? Can't imagine banks giving better rates cos if u send money though TT, they give expensive rates like 1 to 1.5% above money changers.
