⚠️ Wichtige Reisetipps South Korea
Get a T-Money Card Immediately
Buy a T-Money card at the convenience store inside the airport. It works on all subways, buses, and taxis nationwide. Reload it with CASH at any convenience store.
Download Papago
Google Translate is mediocre for Korean. Download 'Naver Papago' for dramatically better, more nuanced translations, including an excellent image translator for menus.
There Are No Trash Cans
Public trash cans are bizarrely rare in Seoul to discourage household dumping. Expect to carry your empty coffee cup or street food wrapper in your pocket for miles.
Learn the BBQ Etiquette
Korean BBQ is cooked at your table. The staff will often start it for you, but you must flip the meat. Use the provided scissors to cut the meat, dip it in ssamjang, and wrap it in a lettuce leaf.
