Getting around Korea by taxi is surprisingly easy once you know how to use a taxi-hailing app. Instead of standing on the street and waiting for an empty cab, you can request a taxi directly from your phone. One of the most widely used taxi apps in Korea is Kakao T , often casually referred to as “Kakao Taxi.” With Kakao T, you can enter your pickup point and destination before getting into the taxi, check your driver and vehicle information, and follow the taxi's location while you wait. This is especially helpful for international travelers because you do not have to explain your destination in Korean. However, short-term visitors who have trouble signing up for Kakao T or registering a Korean payment method may find k.ride , Kakao Mobility's taxi service designed for international travelers, more convenient. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about using Kakao taxis in Korea, from installing the app and requesting a ride to paying your fare and avoiding...

One of the things that can feel surprisingly complicated when you first arrive in South Korea is figuring out how to throw away your trash. Unlike in some countries, household waste in Korea is usually separated into several categories, including general waste, food waste, recyclables, and special items that require separate collection. The system may seem confusing at first. Something that is recyclable in your home country may need to go into general waste in Korea, while batteries, light bulbs, large furniture, and certain plastic bottles may have their own disposal rules. Fortunately, the basic system becomes much easier once you understand a few simple principles. The most important rule is to keep general waste, food waste, and recyclables separate . You should also remember that trash bags, collection days, food-waste systems, and disposal times can vary depending on the city, district, or building where you are staying. 1.

If you are traveling in South Korea, a convenience store will probably become one of the most useful places you visit. Korean convenience stores are not just places to grab a drink or a snack. They are part mini-market, part quick-service restaurant, and sometimes even a small travel service center. You can buy ready-to-eat meals, heat food in a microwave, make instant noodles, purchase or reload transportation cards, withdraw cash at some locations, and find everyday essentials late at night. Major chains such as CU, GS25, 7-ELEVEN, and emart24 are easy to spot in cities, residential neighborhoods, near subway stations, and around tourist areas. For first-time visitors, however, the promotions, self-service equipment, Korean labels, and checkout process can feel unfamiliar. This guide explains how Korean convenience stores work and how to use them comfortably during your trip. 1.
