One thing I missed about Korea while we were in Beijing for a short vacation was using the credit or debit card. Makers of the portable credit card machine must be doing brisk business here in Korea because almost everywhere you go you can use your plastic. It’s very convenient because almost all the restaurants, shops, and grocery stores, even those “mom and pop†varieties accept credit cards. The sellers don’t even bother to check the signatures at the back of your card, unlike back in the Philippines. When we were in Beijing, we discovered that paying with plastic is not as common as here in Korea. We tried asking if we can use credit card to pay for entrances to the tourist spots, especially as we were already running out of money but to no avail. So far, Korea is the best country when it comes to using the square plastic.
