Myeong-dong
Paradise for shoppers, Myeong-dong is Seoul's retail haven
covering a vast area that spreads out from the Myeong-dong subway
station. Massive department stores, boutiques, restaurants,
fast-food outlets and malls are crammed into this buzzing district.
Brand name clothing and accessories can be had at good prices at
venues like the Lotte or Shinsegae Department stores, and malls
like U-too Zone, or seek out bargains at outlet stores like
Migliore and Avatar. If you need to rest your feet and your credit
card take a look at the famed Gothic style Myeong-dong Catholic
Church, where you'll find a peaceful garden.
Information & Facts
Language
The official language is Korean.
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.
