From October 29, Korea's resident-registration records will show foreign residents' names in both Hangul and Roman script. At present a foreign resident's name appears only in Roman letters on the resident-registration record and only in Hangul on the family-relations register (가족관계등록부), which makes it harder to confirm that two documents describe the same person.

Busan began a three-month cashless-bus pilot on October 1, covering 542 buses on 35 routes. Riders are being asked to use transit cards or other non-cash payment methods, but the city has provided a fallback for passengers who arrive with cash alone: board first, then pay by bank transfer. The arrangement is described in Busan’s English-language announcement.

For a few hours of luggage storage in Seoul, start with a subway locker near the station you will return to. Choose a staffed T-Luggage counter if you need help or your suitcase will not fit an available locker. Before paying, check three things: the compartment size, the total charge for your stay, and the last time you can collect your bag. Storage is only useful if you can reach it before your next train.
