Everything you need for a lekker trip
In Korea, Uber isn't a thing. Download Kakao T: shows the price upfront and translates the address for the driver. Same vibe as Uber, just Korean. It's lekker.
Google Maps is fine for basics, but for public transport Naver Map is way more accurate. Has English mode and shows metro and bus info in real time.
Buy one at any convenience store (CU, GS25, 7-Eleven). Load up and use on metro, buses and shops. Like a Gautrain card that works everywhere. R50 covers a full day in Seoul.
South African passport holders need a visa for South Korea. Apply at the Korean Embassy in Pretoria or the Consulate in Cape Town. Plan ahead — processing takes a few weeks.
Samgyeopsal (meat grilled at your table — think braai but indoors and even better), Chimaek (fried chicken + beer — your new favourite combo), Bibimbap (rice with veggies and egg). Like it hot? Say "maewoon". Side dishes (banchan) are free and unlimited refills. Ja nee, it's amazing.
Korea's got something for everyone:
