Stay Safe & Healthy in South Korea
Stay SafeIn South Korea, drivers usually jump red lights, so take extra care on pedestrian crossings even if they are protected by lights. Don't expect they will stop for pedestrian crossings that are not protected by traffic lights. Motorcyclists often drive along pavements and pedestrian crossings, particularly in Seoul. Cars also find pavements and pedestrian crossings a convenient place to park.
The lack of street names, signs and numbers can make navigation around cities difficult; don't expect taxi drivers, passers-by and even shopkeepers to know them. Tip: the small number signs on some buildings have the street name underneath, although only in Korean.
Stay Healthy
Before going, pack some frequently used medications in their original, clearly lablled containers with a signed and dated letter from your physician describing your medical condition and regular medications. In Korea you need a local doctor's prescription to buy medication, and it may be difficult to find your particular branded medications available at home.
Jet lag is common when crossing more than five time zones, resulting in insomnia, fatigue, malaise or nausea. To avoid it, try drinking plenty of fluids (nonalcoholic) and eating light meals. Upon arrival, seek exposure to natural sunlight and readjust your schedule for meals, sleep etc.
Filariasis is a mosquito-borne disease that is very rare in travellers. The best way to prevent is taking mosquito-avoidance measures. And it's widespread in rice-growing areas in southwest Korea.
Travellers' diarrhea is most likely to be caused by the food you having in restaurants. Ways to keep way it include eating only freshly cooked food and avoiding shellfish and food that has been sitting around in buffets. Peel all fruit and cook vegetables. Have meal in busy restaurants with a high turnover of customers.
