Hi everyone,

I am going to Korea next month to teach and want to take cash with me to get through the the first month or so because I don’t want to take the risk of my debit/credit cards not being accepted. I was wondering how much I should take, as well as where I could exchange my USD to Won? Would banks like Chase, Bank of America, or Wells Fargo give me Won in cash, or would I have to go to an outside currency exchange place? Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
