Me? When I was in Korea I blended in and no one asked me if I needed help. But then again, I knew the language enough to get by and I didn't have that glazy helpless look... ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161497068139772587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35574270.post-66335877937846430312006-12-15T18:17:00.000-08:002006-12-15T18:17:00.000-08:00Hey Micheal!

I found that the "Buy The Way" convenience stores had ATMs called "MyCashZone" that take foreign cards and have instructions in english. I always bought something in appreciation of them sponsoring the atm. In the summer I would stop and buy frozen stuff all along my way.<br /><br />Good Luck,<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35574270.post-11618587821960242362006-12-05T21:49:00.000-08:002006-12-05T21:49:00.000-08:00Aww...

I'm relived that it ended so well with hot food and new friends and everyone laughing and dancing while the credits rolled (the last part I'm making up).<br /><br />I'm impressed that they gave you food for free but it really illustrates how you're learning the ropes over there.
