didn't notice much exchange rate difference between Pusan & Shanghai airports last month..
don't forget to carry a decent sized sack to carry it around with you 
*if you plan to use your international ATM card over there, you need to add two zeros to either the start or end of your regular 4 digit code. |

| I exchanged money at the Beijing airport, good exchange rate. Be careful for counterfeit bills, even the banks give them out. |

I stand corrected- some cards require 00XXXX or XXXX00
it's a Commonwealth Bank of Australia card, by the way triple J |

| I would also recommend that you convert your won to US dollars, since it is a fixed exchange compared the floating rate between Won-RMB |
