Incheon
Hop a bus and visit Incheon, a major Korean port city on the
West Sea about an hour from Seoul, where the surrounding irregular
coastline with its islets and mountainous inland terrain provide a
popular getaway from the city. Incheon is home to the International
Airport, but this does not stop it from being a charming city,
surrounded by rice fields, source of the renowned Incheon
flavoursome rice. Since the days of the Joseon Dynasty the city has
also been famed for its therapeutic hot springs, and the downtown
hotels all operate public bath facilities and swimming pools where
visitors can bathe in the spa waters, claimed to benefit skin
ailments, eye problems, neuralgia and gynaecological diseases. This
is also the place to buy ceramics. In the Incheon Ceramics Village
there are hundreds of studios and shops with traditional wood-fired
kilns producing traditional porcelain.

Money
South Korea's monetary unit is the won (KRW). Currency can be
exchanged at most banks and at casinos, and travellers cheques
cashed at authorised banks and hotels. Most merchants in the cities
accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards, but
Koreans traditionally prefer cash. ATMs at banks are usually
accessible only during banking hours, and instructions on the
machines are generally only in Korean. Public ATMs at convenience
stores and subway stations are generally available 24 hours. US
Dollars are an accepted form of foreign currency and can be used as
US Dollars in the areas around the American Military bases in South
Korea.
