| This was a real concern 10 years ago but not anymore. Back then, the few & only atm's were at banks & did run out of cash on extended holidays. Now there are money machines everywhere. Also, most Koreans at that time paid cash for everything, but cards have since proliferated. No worries. |
Yes, I'm not worried. Credit cards, debit cards, practically every convenience store as an ATM nowadays. 10 years ago? Sheesh. Forget about it. Credit cards were practically worthless, and ATMs were locked up by 9pm. You'd have to stock up on cash three days in advance if you didn't want to end up broke during the holidays. It was even worse in the 90's. There were 3 ATMs in my town, none of which were connected to an international network like Cirrus.
Newbies have no idea how good they have it now. |
