Need a toilet in Korea? Head for the subway station, and check which side of the gates it's on

The 15-minute free re-entry rule, which lines are left out, and where to go when the station is closed

Public toilets in Korea are free, and a subway station is the surest bet. In the Seoul area most lines let you tap out to use one and re-enter within 15 minutes at no cost, but AREX, Shinbundang and Incheon lines don't.

Korean convenience stores: what works with a foreign card, cash, or a passport

Tmoney, payments, parcels and alcohol ID at CU, GS25, 7-Eleven and emart24, and the few tasks where the chain matters

Foreign visitors can do most convenience-store tasks with an overseas card and some won in cash. Top up a Tmoney card with cash, and expect the half-price store-to-store parcel services to send the pickup code to the recipient as a KakaoTalk notification and to ask the sender for a Korean return address. For the tasks we could verify, the chain changes your plan only for Tmoney refunds and half-price parcels.
