CALL the customer service number on your card and ask them.
2 :
no. The atm machines there serve Koreans. Try to get traveller's credit card. and some Korean currency.
3 :
It will probably work at an international atm, but they can be hard to find in some areas. If you do use it they will likely charge you a decent amount of fees and might not give you the best exchange rate. If you're just coming for a visit you could bring cash, should be fine as long as your careful, you can exchange it at a bank or the airport or something.

Which is the best place to live (and work) in South Korea
Which is the best place to live (and work) in South Korea?
I live in South Africa, but I'm planning to go and teach English in S. Korea in a couple of weeks. The application forms ask me where I want to live... First of all- what is the difference between a regular province and a city province? And secondly - which would be the best place to go? please give honest opinions... No stupid jokes.

Seoul probably is the best option but I do not know where is the best region in Seoul. Seoul is divided into 25 gu (구; å€) (district). Dobong District (ë„봉구; é“å³°å€) Dongdaemun District (ë™ëŒ€ë¬¸êµ¬; æ±å¤§é–€å€) Dongjak District (ë™ìž‘구; 銅雀å€) Eunpyeong District (ì€í‰êµ¬; æ©å¹³å€) Gangbuk District (ê°•ë¶êµ¬; 江北å€) Gangdong District (ê°•ë™êµ¬; 江æ±å€) Gangnam District (강남구; 江å—å€) Gangseo District (강서구; 江西å€) Geumcheon District (금천구; è¡¿å·å€) Guro District (구로구; ä¹è€å€) Gwanak District (관악구; å† å²³å€) Gwangjin District (광진구; 廣津å€) Jongno District (종로구; é¾è·¯å€) Jung District (중구; ä¸å€) Jungnang District (중랑구; ä¸æµªå€) Mapo District (마í¬êµ¬; 麻浦å€) Nowon District (ë…¸ì›êµ¬; 蘆原å€) Seocho District (서초구; ç‘žè‰å€) Seodaemun District (서대문구; 西大門å€) Seongbuk District (성ë¶êµ¬; 城北å€) Seongdong District (성ë™êµ¬; 城æ±å€) Songpa District (송파구; æ¾å¡å€) Yangcheon District (양천구; 陽å·å€) Yeongdeungpo District (ì˜ë“±í¬êµ¬; 永登浦å€) Yongsan District (용산구; é¾å±±å€) Gangnam and Gangnam-gu districts are the modern and uptown areas of the city, where you can find many hotels and tourist facilities. The Jongno-gu district is the historical core of the city, containing most of Seoul’s historical sights. A few other notable districts are the international district of Itaewon and the Dongdaemun-gu, a true shoppers paradise. You can visit the traditional market areas of Namdaemun or Dongdaemun, where you can buy low-priced clothing, souvenirs and nearly everything else you might want. Next to these markets, the city has countless shopping malls all over town, as fashion is part of the city’s culture. Myeongdong is one of the best-known and largest areas for fashion shopping, as well as Apgujeong, the area which is known as the ‘Beverly Hills of Seoul’, with many stores of luxurious international brands. Second option Busan Metropolitan City, also known as Pusan is the largest port city in South Korea and the fifth largest port in the world. Busan has a population of about 3.6 million. It is South Korea's second largest metropolis, after Seoul. Third option Incheon, officially the Incheon Metropolitan City, is South Korea's third largest metropolis, after Seoul and Busan.

We lived in Gangnam and have nice apartment in Apkujong, which pretty much means that you're a millionaire. So try to get a job in Gangnam.

Busan. I've lived in Seoul and Busan. I think Busan is the best place to live for the following reasons: 1) It's not a crowded as Seoul (4 million vs 12 million) 2) Lower cost of living 3) Beaches 4) Milder climate 5) Friendlier people (in Seoul they can be a bit standoffish) I think a lot of people will probably tell you Seoul, especially people who have visited but never lived there. Maybe because it's the largest city or has the best nightlife, but in reality the nightlife is just as good in Busan and you won't waste hours of time each week in crowded subways or traffic jams. Seoul's a great city to visit. It's only a 3 hour ride on KTX to get there from Busan. But after living in Busan, I could never live in Seoul again.
