Come Tbilisi if you want to live.

I'm heading to Korea soon, and I have a pretty good grasp on most of what I'm doing (and the OP was very helpful for general travel tips), but my one lasting concern is about currency exchange.

I have a visa card through bank of america, and I was wondering what people recommend I do to exchange my us dollars for won. Should I do it in the states somehow? Is it advisable to do it in ATM's over there? I know to generally avoid airport conversion booths.

Typically when I travel I use ATM's and get big sums at a time (to minimize transaction costs), but I've never been to Korea so I don't know if there are any better ways. I've also used Xoom before but they don't seem to have service in Korea.

If anyone has any good resources or advice, it would be appreciated.
