Welcome to Seoul

Gangnam district at night

Welcome to Seoul, South Korea's capital, a real metropolis of 10 million, site of the 1988 Summer Olympics – and the host of CAOS 2012! Seoul is located in the north-west of South Korea. It has been a settlement for more than 2,000 years and is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Climate

Temperature and humidity vary considerably throughout the year. During the time of CAOS-International's annual meeting you may expect temperatures to be around 25°C (77°F) on average with moderate changes of rain.

Electrical Equipment

The standard electrical voltage in South Korea is 220 volts AC, 60HZ, so you will need an adaptor for your 110-volt appliances and electrical equipment. Two-pronged European plugs, however, will work.
