Banking!?

Gang,

First time ever going to Asia, (Japan for a couple days but I'll have a guide) and Seoul (solo). Wanted to know about banking, I've emailed my bank but haven't heard back yet.

Details:

- Canadian
- Bank with TD

I just wanna know what the situation with ATMs is going to be. I know travelling in Colombia my card works only at certain brands of ATM. But because I won't be in Seoul too long I'd love to just KNOW ahead of time which machines would likely accept my card. I can get some more currency in advance, but I don't want to get too much of it, I'd rather take it out as I need it.

Also, I'm reading credit card availability is pretty good there, anything I need to know? I've got a Visa through TD.

PS...If anyone knows about Japan (Tokyo)/Brazil (Sao Paulo/Rio) for the same questions feel free to post em!

Thanks!
