The ATM at the airport accepted my DCU ATM card for cash.  The Marriott
in Seoul would not accept my DCU Visa to pay my hotel bill.  On my
second trip over I used my Chase Visa (I think).  I did try calling DCU,
but there was nothing I could say to them that would make them authorize
a transaction.  New rule:  Bring at least two credit cards when
traveling international.
