I used to know an exchange student from Ewha back when I was University. She told me that the girls there have a contest every year to see who can get with the hottest guy.

Pretty sure that every university in the history of universities has had that contest all year, every year

Aside from my students making jokes about having MERS whenever someone coughs, you'd never know it was a thing down here in Daegu.

You have a better chance of being hit and killed by a car than actually catching MERS.

I'm upset, why I still can't get cheap tickets to Seoul. Are real-estate prices dropping like mad there? Oh and enjoy this : http://hongkong.coconuts.co/2015/06/11/hong-kong-exchange-students-removed-south-korean-university-lecture-wearing-face-masks quote:Two Hong Kong students on exchange at a university in Seoul told journalists that they were removed from a lecture for wearing surgical masks.

I got a 4 day weekend out of it, but I have to work this Thursday and Saturday. I'm hoping the kids will be mostly absent, but I'm guessing the parents will love having them be out on a Saturday.

I left the country a few months ago so I can't remember if I posted this movie I made. https://vimeo.com/125579531 Thought Busan goons might be interested.

I'm heading to Korea soon, and I have a pretty good grasp on most of what I'm doing (and the OP was very helpful for general travel tips), but my one lasting concern is about currency exchange. I have a visa card through bank of america, and I was wondering what people recommend I do to exchange my us dollars for won. Should I do it in the states somehow? Is it advisable to do it in ATM's over there? I know to generally avoid airport conversion booths. Typically when I travel I use ATM's and get big sums at a time (to minimize transaction costs), but I've never been to Korea so I don't know if there are any better ways. I've also used Xoom before but they don't seem to have service in Korea. If anyone has any good resources or advice, it would be appreciated.

ATM is generally the best bet. Any KEB bank will have a global ATM that takes your debit card. There are other global ATMs (they're marked in English) but KEB is the easiest to remember since they always do.

If your card has a chip or whatever the gently caress it should work. My Chase sapphire card works no probs anywhere over there that you can use plastic.

If you really want to save some change you can exchange the bulk of your money at money changers in Myeongdong. The exchange rate is generally near the base rate. But depends on how much your time and effort is worth.

But my mom hates kimchi, so I don't know how much weight you should give their preferences...

Oh man. Nothing beats the rate I got in Cleveland that would have had me buying 708 won for every dollar when the base exchange rate was 1080 to $1. Plus a $15 fee. ATMs would be fine.
