5 Things to Know Before Visiting South Korea
Want to join a Winter Internship in South Korea or just take a trip to enjoy the vibes of the Land of Ginseng? Before you go, there are few things you should know and prepare so your trip is more comfortable and enjoyable.
Let’s check out these 5 tips before you head to South Korea.
- Get a T-Money Card
Getting around is easier with a T-money card! You can use it to pay for buses and subways, and top it up at convenience stores or subway stations.
- Naver Maps instead of Google Maps
For easier directions, public transportation routes, and finding places, it’s better to use Naver Map.
- Bring a Travel Adapter
South Korea uses Type C and Type F plugs with a 220v power supply, so make sure your chargers are compatible.
- Carry Some Cash
Don’t forget to bring some cash, but only as much as you need. Some places, especially small shops, traditional markets, and street food vendors, may only accept cash payments.
- Download Papago
Trust me, this app is incredibly helpful when communicating with locals, especially shopkeepers or public service staff. It also assists you in understanding and reading the signs around the country.
So, those are the 5 things you need to prepare before visiting South Korea. With the right preparation, you can enjoy your experience there more without worrying about the little things!
What if your trip to South Korea wasn’t just for vacation, but also to get international work experience?
