Korea has a number of world-class international airports. Incheon International Airport (ICN) consistently wins prizes as Asia's top connection/arrival center. Seoul/Gimpo International Airport (GMP) is the classic "near to the capital city" airport and has numerous flights to/from major cities across Asia. We recommend either of these. Cheongju International Airport (CJJ) is closer to Daejeon, but has few flights and limited transit options into Daejeon. Gimhae International Airport in Busan (PUS) or Daegu International Airport (TAE) may be an economical flight for those coming from Japan or China. All but Cheongju has easy access to Korea excellent rail system and intercity busses.

If arriving at Incheon Airport during daytime hours, you may find the Daejeon Convention Center Concierge Desk at Incheon International Airport convenient.

From Incheon, there are two options to Daejeon:

• Take the limousine bus from Incheon Airport to Daejeon Bus Terminal. We suggest you to take the limousine bus. It takes a bit longer than the train but is simpler and cheaper (roughly US$25). Here is a PDF guide for limousine busses.
• Train (or express bus) from Seoul. Take the AREX train, which travels from Incheon Airport to Seoul Rail Station via Gimpo Airport. At Seoul Station you may choose KTX (Korea's "Bullet Train") or somewhat slower and cheaper Saemauel/ITX or the most economical Mugunghwa-ho, and travel to Daejeon Station or West Daejeon Station (Seo-Daejeon - be careful, these are not the same place!). Alternatively, you may take an express bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal (accessible through Seoul's subway system) if you really prefer that.

Inside Daejeon, there is a subway/metro which travels from Daejeon Train Station, but does not go all the way to Daejeon Convention Center.

City Bus drivers do not speak English, and while there are announcements in English and English signs, when the busses are crowded it's easy to miss your destination. We recommend using a taxi.

A taxi from either train station to Daejeon convention center should cost approximately 9,000KRW (Korean Won, roughly US$7.50) except in high-traffic congestion. Taxi drivers rarely speak English, but if you say "Daejeon Convention Center" slowly and clearly, they will understand. As for other destinations, get the name and street address (in Korean) on your phone or paper to show them.

Daejeon Station, West (Seo) Daejeon Station, and Daejeon Express Bus Terminal are not adjacent, and not comfortable walking distance.

Google Maps are less useful in Korea than in most other countries (data secrecy laws) but you may still find it helpful.

Uber, Grab, and other "Call cars" are not available in Korea. The apps to call taxis in Korea are not available to non-residents. It can be difficult to hail a taxi during commute or very late night hours. If you need a taxi, plan to pick one up from a hotel or restaurant where they can call one for you.

There is a surcharge in taxis for late night service (after midnight). Note the Black Taxis - these are Deluxe Service taxis (Mobum), and cost about 20% more. There are also Van Taxis (same price as Deluxe) that can carry 8 or more, but typically must be called for.

	Currency Major foreign currencies that can be exchanged at banks, hotels, and the airport include the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, and UK Sterling. Most hotels, tourists' restaurants, and shops accept major international credit cards including Visa, American Express, Diners Club, Master Card, and JCB. Money Exchange Foreign currency, including US Dollars, is generally not accepted in Korea except at a few high-end hotels. In general, neighborhood banks are reluctant to change money for non-locals. Travelers checks (cheques) are not widely accepted. Change your money at the Airport! (These may close before midnight and no re-open until 7am, and can be found near departures/ticketing if you don't find them after immigration. Foreign credit cards are accepted at many department stores and hotels, but might not be accepted in local shops or restaurants. Please note: AsiaTEFL cannot accept cards or foreign currencies at the Convention Center. ATM (Automated Teller Machines) Travelers who carry internationally recognized credit cards can get a cash advance in Korea Won from Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) installed at airports, major hotels, department stores, subway stations and tourist attractions. Foreign-issued ATM cards not under the Visa or Master Card label may have limited use. ATMs are in operation 24 hours a day (with occasional exceptions for bank management, that typically on Sunday around midnight). Most large stores, hotels and restaurants in Korea accept major international credit cards. However, it is advisable to carry some cash, since many smaller establishments and stores are unlikely to accept credit cards.
	Cellphone Service -- SIM Card Purchase (Korea SIM card) Travelers can purchase a SIM (USIMM) card to insert in their personal cell phone device. Both data service and no-data /voice and text only plans are available. "Unlimited Data" or limited data plans are available. These prepaid SIM cards usually cost less than roaming services from your home country. SIM cards can be purchased at CU and 7-Eleven convenience stores at Incheon International Airport, and at various other locations inside the international terminals of Incheon, Gimpo, and Pusan airports.
	Internet Korea is famous for Ubiquitous and Fast Internet. Free Wireless Internet service (Wifi) is often provided in public places such as airports, train stations, and bus terminals in Korea. Free Public Wifi is also available near some ordinary bus stops, and on many public buses and trains (including most subways). PC rooms ("bangs") and internet cafes are also great places to go and they are mostly open 24 hours. PC rooms usually are equipped with game-quality systems, comfortable chairs, and casual foods such as Ramyeon (ramen), and typically cost less than US$3 per hour. But printers are generally not available. Daejeon Convention Center offers free guest Wifi and so do most hotels. Convention Center speeds will probably not be adequate for streaming video (due to the large number of users). There is no "business center" for attendees at Daejeon Convention Center, and few hotels in Korea offer this service.
	Electrical Korea uses a 220v/60hz non-grounded (un-earthed) power supply, with twin round-pin outlet. Most larger hotels will have a few adapters for the "American-style" twin parallel plug, but do not offer power transformers from 100-115 volts. While most lightweight consumer electronics are now "free-volt" systems that can accept 110v-50cycle up to 240v, CHECK YOUR DEVICE before plugging anything in.
