The AONS was established in 2013 with a mission to contribute to cancer nursing. Our vision is that cancer patients in Asia will receive the best care from nurses who are well prepared in providing high quality and science-based care. Oncology nursing in Asia became more important due to the increasing number of new cancer cases and cancer deaths. About one-half of all new cancer cases and all cancer deaths respectively occur in Asian region (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2012). We are very honored to hold the 2nd AONS Conference in Korea after a great success in the 1st AONS Conference in Thailand, 2013. Under the theme of “Flying the spirit of Asian Oncology Nursing” a wide range of scientific programs and social activities will be organized. We are very interested in sharing the efforts and the know-hows of oncology nursing with other countries and trying to cooperate and unite to widen a range of oncology nursing in the Asian region. We have no doubt that the AONS 2015 Conference will not only provide you with wonderful opportunities to catch up on the latest advancements but also to meet and collaborate with your colleagues. We hope you will give us your greatest support by actively participating in the conference and look forward to meeting you in the dynamic and beautiful city of Seoul, Korea.

AONS 2015 Conference :: 13 Flying the Spirit of Asian Oncology Nursing ABOUT KOREA Visitors to Seoul are often struck by the city’s unique atmosphere and diverse style. Evidence of Korea’s modern development and technological leadership abounds, yet Seoul’s illustrious history, dating back to the founding of the Joseon Dynasty in 1392, has far from been ignored. Ancient palaces and temples that have existed for centuries stand side-by-side with high-tech towering skyscrapers in this city where the old and new exist in perfect harmony. ATTRACTIONS IN SEOUL Art The city has over 700 museums, including the national museum of Korea and national folk museum, all containing a countless number of artifacts. There are many performance centers, such as the sejong center for the Performing arts, national Theater and more, as well as over 400 galleries displaying various works of art. Culture Tradition is not the only thing which can be found in seoul. There is a wide range of modern and fusion culture of the West and the east, along with up-to-date, cutting edge technology, and a number of world class performances, including вЂ�NANTA’,вЂ�JUMP’ and b-boy performances. UNESCO world heritage sites come and visit the royal tombs of the Joseon dynasty: seonjeongneung (tomb), Taereung and Gangreung (royal tombs), Jeongneung (royal tomb), changdeokgung (palace), and Jongmyo (royal shrine). Dining Visitors to seoul often name Korean cuisine as one of the memorable highlights of their trip. You can enjoy not only Kimchi, Galbi or bibimbap, but also taste a variety of world cuisines. Shopper’s Paradise Korea offers a wide variety of shopping opportunities: arcades, department stores, duty-free shops, districts specialized in shopping, and outdoor markets. - Traditional Outdoor Markets: Namdaeumun Market, Dongdaemun Market - Popular Shopping Districts in Seoul: Myeong-dong, Insa-dong, Itaewon * for more information on seoul, please visit at http://english.visitkorea.or.kr 14 :: AONS 2015 Conference About Seoul, Korea USEFUL INFORMATION Weather Korea’s climate is regarded as a continental climate from a temperate standpoint and a monsoon climate from a precipitation standpoint. The climate of Korea is characterized by four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Essentially, the most tourist friendly seasons here are Spring between April and June, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom as well as Autumn from September to November when the skies are clear, sunny and warm. Spring and Autumn which are pleasant but short in duration provide a welcome relief from the extremes of summer and winter. The average temperature of June in between Spring and Summer, when the conference will be held, is 21.9В°C Time Zone The time in Korea is 9 hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+9). Currency & Exchange The unit of the Korean currency is the Won (пї¦). Various notes and coins are used: notes include 1,000 won, 5,000 won, 10,000 won and 50,000 won denominations, while coins include 10 won, 50 won, 100 won and 500 won denominations. As of March 2012, the exchange rate is approximately USD 1to KRW 1,127. Foreign bank notes and traveler’s checks can be converted into the Korean won at foreign exchange banks and other authorized money exchange outlets. The exchange rate is subject to market fluctuations. Taxes & Tipping Tipping is not a regular practice in Korea. Service charges are included in your bill for rooms, meals and other services at hotels and luxurious restaurants. Koreans occasionally do tip when they are especially pleased with the service they receive. Passport & Visa All foreign visitors entering South Korea must possess valid passports. Nationals of most countries may enter visa-free for a maximum duration of 30 days, given possession of confirmed return or alternate destination tickets.
