aww sucks to be you Kona D:

You should visit Korea this december, fail.

OH RITE

BTW if any of your friends are smokers, I suggest they don't throw Cig Butts on the floor.

Korea can now charge you 50,000 Won (50 bucks) for littering on the ground

Even if you pull the "OMG IM NOT FROM DIS COUNTRY PLZ LET ME GO" card it won't work anymore D:

This rule only applies to the "Expensive Side" of the River. Nobody cares anywhere else lol.

How much money are you talking about when you say a LOT of money and a LOOT of money. How much should you go in expecting to blow in a night.

Well, it really depends on how much you're willing to 'blow'...

In korea, some days you can spend almost as low as 8000W all night or a shocking 200000W in a single hour.

1000W - 5000W from PC Bang (Lan Cafe, 1 Hour = 1000W, so 5000W assuming you sit your ass on a computer for 5 hours)
A Small Bottle of Water has an average cost of 750W - 1250W.
Soju costs like 1000W from a Supermarket, but in Soju bars or Restaurants it usually ranges from 2000W to 5000W, depending on where you are
Club entrance fee have an average of 20000W, 10000W in shitty places or 30000W in some places under the river. Also no sandals and flipflops allowed.
An average DECENT meal can cost around 10000W per person. Yes there are MILLIONS of ways to buy food lower than that, but I'm pretty sure if you want to experience Korea you don't want to be sitting in the corner eating a ball of rice so you can have 'cheap food'
Soju is dirt cheap, BUT, Imported Hard Liquor (IE, Whisky and Vodka) ARE FUCKING EXPENSIVE. IT IS GAY. A 1 liter bottle of Johny Walker Black can cost up to 75000W - 100000W. However if you go to this shit bar called "Monkey Beach (I DON'T RECOMMEND GOING HERE IT SUCKS AND IS FULL OF UGLY GIRLS) you can get tequila for dirt cheap.

if I were you, I would just buy some hard liquor from the duty free before you board onto the plane.
3000cc of Draft Beer Costs around 5000W - 6000W if memory serves me correctly.

Don't ever drink Hite. Hite is the Budweiser of Korea. Yes, it's that bad.
Taxi fares start at 2400W (it stays at 2400W until you get through 1km or some shit, or was it 2). IIRC 1 KM = AT MOST 1000W if there is little traffic.
Subway costs 900W if you stay on the line. Transfers cost like 200W or some bullshit. Either way it's cheap as fuck and I recommend this over taxi unless it's over 12:00AM because thats when subways usually close.

PS: GET THE SUBWAY CARD (aka Octopus Card or w/e you call it in HK). Works on buses too! Just recharge it around 25000W and you'll be set! If you need further recharging there is a recharging machine in the subway which has Chinese/Japanese and even English for you convenience.

There is alot more I can add but you get the basic gist.
It really really depends on what you're doing.
OH RIGHT, DON'T EVER DO CURRENCY EXCHANGE IN BANK
Handle everything in the airport
Serious.

If you're going through a HEAVY PARTAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Rekrul style night, you can drop 750000W with absolute ease.

However if you are going with the innocent "Omg i luv starcraft" routine you can drop as little as 10000W a day if you don't eat much lol

T-money card you can use it for both buses and subway ^^

Also most pc rooms these days are are like 1200 with cards and 1000 if you register and when you register they usually give you a discount like 5 hours instead of 5000 won like 4000 won. All depends on the pc rooms.

Can you be my angel too mrhoon

Oh line 2 line 2 i dont think ever got in with just 1 stop. Always have to ride the next one when i get in line.

The subway card (T-Money) is 2500 to buy per card and then you can refill it as many times as you need. It's more of a transit card, than subway.

MrHoon is right, 900 won to ride the subway, but it depends on where you are going (ie how far you are from starting point). If you transfer within a given distance, it's still only 900 won. Also, you can transfer from subway to bus using the card and most cabs now also accept T-Money as well.
