500,000 KRW should be more than enough in China! I've always exchanged money in China at the hotels with no problems. The 3 Star to 5 Star Hotels actually offer very decent rates and charge very little commission.
Have fun |

500K for China? How long are you going for? Where are you going?
KEB is good - they have most of the more popular currencies. Airport also has money, too. |

| Change your money at Incheon Airport. You'll get a much better rate than the hotels or money changers in China. |

| Yeah, 500 000 is plenty. I thought I'd spend 600 000 for 7 days but had so much money leftover that I ended up buying an IPOD. |
