Dolseok and I love to find new things to do in Korea. This is our date&travel-log. Hope this serves as a helpful guide to those staying or traveling in Korea as well.

Lockers in Seoul

I always carry heavy bags whenever I go to Seoul to meet Dolseok so we are royal customers for these high-tech lockers inside subway stations. Not only can you keep things inside, but also can send parcels to other places, though it costs more than using the convenience store service.

These lockers do not have any English menu or instructions. It is damn hard until you get used to it. Moreover you can only pay with a credit card with transportation chip, T-money(transportation chip used in the metropolitan Seoul area), or a local cell phone. It is very unlikely for an international tourist to posess any of these special items, you have to carry them on your back all the time. Trying to be high-tech, but never very thoughtful.
