CONSULTATION IS ABOUT $70 PLUS WHATEVER YOU PAY FOR MEDICINE. THEY DON'T ACCEPT INSURANCE CARDS UNLESS YOU PURCHASED YOUR INSURANCE IN KOREA. DON'T WORRY THOUGH, YOU WILL BE GIVEN A RECEIPT THAT YOU CAN USE TO SUBMIT TO YOUR INSURANCE IN ORDER TO GET REIMBURSED. I GOT INSURANCE FROM WELLS FARGO WHICH IN REALITY IS CHARTIS INSURANCE. IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE I GET MY MONEY BACK. IT'S A WHOLE BIG PROCESS!!!! T_T


IT'S A BIT HAD TO EXPLAIN HOW TO GET THERE BUT I WILL ATTEMPT. IF I FIGURE IT OUT WITH NO HELP FROM A KOREAN, THEN YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!

SO THE EASIEST WAY IS TO TAKE A CAB THERE. JUST GET A CAB TROUGH THE BACK GATE OF SOGANG, WHICH IS RIGHT BEHIND GONZAGA HALL. JUST TELL THE CAB DRIVER "YONSEI SEVERANCE BYEONG WON." THEY WILL UNDERSTAND. THEY WILL MOST LIKELY JUST DROP YOU OFF AT THE ENTRANCE UNLESS THEY 1. KNOW WHERE THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CARE CENTER ENTRANCE IS OR 2. YOU CAN EXPLAIN IN KOREAN TO GO INSIDE. THE CHANCES ARE SLIM SO ONCE THEY DROP YOU OFF AT THE ENTRANCE MAKE YOUR WAY TO WHERE THERE IS A HILL. YOU WILL SEE A KIOSK WHERE CARS ENTER AND NEED TO GET LIKE A TICKET STUB AND STUFF. JUST GO UP THAT HILL AND KEEP GOING UP. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS BECAUSE THE SIGNS WILL DIRECT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN LEFT LIKE HALF WAY THROUGH THE HILL. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN TO TURN. IT'S LIKE A SMALL STREET. ONCE YOU TURN LEFT KEEP GOING STRAIGHT UNTIL THE VERY END.

TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE END OF THE LITTLE STREET, TO YOUR RIGHT, YOU SHOULD SEE THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. THE ENTRANCE TO THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CARE CENTER WILL BE AT THE END OF THE STREET TO YOUR LEFT. GO IN AND AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR, TURN LEFT AND THEN MAKE A RIGHT. GO STRAUIGHT UNTIL YOU SEE THE HELP DESK/INFORMATION DESK AND THEN TURN LEFT AND KEEP WALKING STRAIGHT UNTIL YOU SEE A SIGN THAT SAYS "INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CARE CENTER."

I HOPE THIS HELPS

NOW FOR SOME PICTURES!!!













IF YOU NEED CASH REST ASSURED THAT THERE IS A WOORI BRANCH INSIDE!!!! ^_^
