The Hangul Characters
In 1994, Discovery magazine described Hangul as the most logical language writing system in the world. The symbols are combined into blocks, each one representing a single syllable. Each syllable must start with a consonant, although the iung is silent in the initial position. Text is arranged either in the traditional vertical fashion, with columns reading from right to left (as in some newspapers and old books) or in rows reading left to right (as in most modern novels and magazines). The alphabet may appear complicated, but it is actually easy to learn. Once you are familiar with the characters, looking up words in a dictionary becomes easy. When speaking Korean, you use formal or informal words and phrases, depending on the status of the person to whom you are talking. For example, you generally use informal speech to children and formal speech to older people. It is better to err by being too formal rather than showing disrespect. However, Koreans do not expect foreigners to be fluent and will usually excuse minor mistakes.

T-money is a transportation card that you can use instead of buying a ticket. You should have your T-Money card read by the machine and touch the card to the machine each time they get on and off from a bus or a subway to get a discount if you are transferring. If you do not intend to transfer to another bus/subway then you only need to have your card checked when getting on the bus. After you get off the bus/subway you must transfer within 30 minutes (except from 21:00 to 07:00, when the transfer period is within 1 hour). You can purchase/recharge your card at ticket windows in Seoul subway stations, all LG-25 stores in Seoul, vendor kiosks selling bus tickets near most city bus stops, and automated recharging machines located in each subway station.
