If you get hit by a bus, does somebody know how to get your body home?
Make sure you have SOMEONE IN KOREA that has your contacts for home and if you have any medical conditions . A few years ago a young relatively healthy friend had a life threaten illness. Fortunately He was found unconscious in his apartment by his roommate in time, he would have died in 12 hours if he hadn't been . We didn't know who to contact, and didn't know that he had Krone's disease. We had to dig through his personal stuff and finally found a number, but it was about a day.
Most schools don't have an emergency contact number, and they way things change it is likely not to be current if you have been here a few years. Take care of yourself make sure someone has a contact numbers for you.

That's why you should make sure you school has all of your updated home address information. Also your embassy. And at least one Korean you call a friend (best if a coworker).

In your mobile Phone have a number under the name 'ICE' - In Case of Emergency.

Would anyone know what ICE means if I'm found lying in the street?

If you are dead, you won't care. Trust me, I've been through this back in 1974. Wasn't a bus, but I didn't care afterward.


The "ICE" thing is stupid. My mother's cell phone shop in the USA added my father's number as ICE. When I was attempting to call his number from her phone, I asked why it wasn't in there. She told me it was under ICE. I said "the number should be 911."

If I see ICE in a seizuring person's cellphone, I'd probally just figure it was their meth hook up.

Bibbitybop is right. I'm the one that just got hit by a bus. I'll make the time to notify people later.
