miscellaneous
- A detailed manual on how to access the online conference will be delivered soon. We are working hard to prepare an optimal platform, to ensure convenient access wherever you are.
- If you require a taxi from a hotel or event venue to another place in Daegu, please ask the information desk to call a taxi. Uber is not widely used in Korea however the Korean equivalent, Kakao Taxi, can be installed in the app store. The drivers will not be fluent in English but will take you to your destination.
- Public transportation is also available in Daegu. To take the bus, you can get directions at the hotel lobby. The bus is very easy to use and has English announcements available. There are three metro trains running in Daegu. Unfortunately, there are no stations within walking distance around the venue.
- The Korean alternative of Google Maps, such as ‘Naver Map’ or ‘Kakao Map’, can be downloaded on the app store. It is worth noting the English names for Korean places may not always be consistent. Please note that Google Maps are not workable in Korea.
- Credit and Debit Card are widely used in Korea. They are accepted ‘almost everywhere’ other than traditional markets and street stalls. Cards issued overseas (Visa, Master, UnionPay, JCB, American Express etc.) can also be used in taxi, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and hospitals if you can find your card logo. But first, you need to check whether your card is for domestic or overseas use. Please inquire with your credit card company in advance.
- The T-Money card is useful for transportation (taxi, bus, subway, airport railroad) after arriving in Korea. You can use it after pre-loading it and get a refund before returning home. See more T-money Card information here
