It is real bargain due to the recent Korean Won devaluation. (1 US$ was about 800 Won until last october but 1 US$ is 1233 Won as of August 3, 1998). There are also many cheaper but little inconvenient inns near the conference site.

US $1 is about 1250 Won. But nowadays, the exchange rate is fluctuating very much. You can get the current exchange rate from internet
