Feeling sick
Pharmacies (약국) handle minor issues. Not sure where to go? Call 1330 (24 hours, interpreters) for advice on clinics that speak your language. Serious cases: the emergency room (응급실) of a large hospital or 119. Keep your travel insurance details on your phone.

Lost something
Search found items on the Korean police online service Police Minwon 24 (경찰민원24), or ask the subway station office or the taxi company. Keep your card receipt — it identifies the taxi.
