Okay, internet, help me devise a solution fast!

I leave Korea tomorrow (sunday). I have money in my account; also, the pension appears to be going to my Korean account, and it won't be there until after I leave.

I don't have international banking or internet banking and I'm not sure I can get either set up after I leave. I have a lot of cash and I'm not sure if I could exchange it at the airport that early on sunday, and even if i could, there's the ATM limits so I probably won't be able to get it all, and since some of it will be deposited AFTER I leave it still doesn't solve that problems.

This is a complicated situation, blarghrgjhwkgjwg.

Any advice?? Anyone been through this before?

I didn't get my pension refund until months after my contract finished. I gave them my home country bank info and they sent it to that account.

You prolly still have time to change where they send it.

I remember seeing on here that there are some bank branches that have special Sat. and Sunday hours in Seoul. Search around.
