Trip to Korea

▶ Climate of Korea

1) Korea has four seasons, with a monsoon/summer season from June to August and a winter
season from November to March.

The summer months (July, August) are hot, humid, and popular holiday seasons. Humidity in
the summer can reach 90%. The temperature for summer always stays above 20c and can reach
into the 30′s. Some activities are subject to change due to unpredictable rain.

▶ Banking & ATMs

Cards with the Plus and Cirrus logos are the easiest to use and most widely accepted in Korea.
Some places even accept international cards like China UnionPay, Maestro, Electron, and JCB cards.
You can find ATMs (automatic teller machines) in banks or convenient stores, where customers can
make withdrawals, deposits, and fund transfers. However, as most ATM transactions require an
account with a Korean bank, ATMs are not particularly convenient for international travelers except
for getting cash advances on a credit card.

Cash dispensing machines, called CDs, which only offer cash withdrawal services, can be found
in subways, convenience stores, railway stations, bus terminals, and department stores. Most are
open 24 hours a day and dispense cash in 10,000 won units. Most machines display English
directions on the monitor, and others also have Japanese and Chinese.

When using your international debit card at a CD machine, even one displaying the debit card
logo, you may get an error message. If that occurs, look for a CD in more populated places like
train stations, bus terminals, or department stores. If you get the same error message at a bank, ask
a bank representative at the counter to help you.

If you have any questions while using ATM/CD machines, call the Korea Travel Line at 1330.
