Recent currency changes have made attendance in Seoul no
more expensive than attendance at the American Society of Criminology
in Washington this November, with ample availability of low cost and
shared rooms. Papers on all topics criminological will be accepted
and grouped by language and subject area with papers delivered by
scholars from other countries, with most panels featuring a
multi-national cast. Fully organized panels are also invited.
Special discount fares from Europe on Lufthansa are now available at
less than $800 US, and even lower prices on air fares are available
from the West coast of the US (slightly higher from the east coast).
Cathay Pacific is offering a 14-day Asian travel pass with up to 7
cities for one low price.
The conference will be held in the air-conditioned comfort of the
Inter-Continental Hotel, Seoul's most attractive venue, and the
Korean Exhibition Center right next door. Meals are available on
site in prices ranging from $3.50 for a cafeteria lunch to a very
expensive French Restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, and many
types of Asian food at hundreds of restaurants nearby. Other hotels
are conveniently accessible by subway or taxi fares under $5.
