 An absolute "must-have" for anyone considering a visit to South Korea. March 4, 2007
The latest volume in the "Living In" series for travelers and would-be foreign residents, Living in South Korea: How to Feel at Home, Make Friends and Enjoy Everyday Life is a basic primer for business and pleasure travelers as well as prospective residents of South Korea. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, Living in South Korea does not offer maps or information about tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, and the like; instead, the focus is upon delivering a solid primer of Korean culture and manners. From how and when to bow, to rules of etiquette concerning gift giving and who pays when going out, to warnings of what to expect when searching for a job teaching English (such as the importance of bringing an original university diploma, at least two letters of recommendation, and several original copies of a police check from one's local police department indicating no criminal record), to types of employment opportunities available, and much more. There is a brief summary of the Korean language and a pronunciation guide, but no phrasebook - Living in South Korea is not intended as a substitute for Korean language reference or study materials. An absolute "must-have" for anyone considering a visit to South Korea.
 Not worth the money June 30, 2004

This isn't really a book...it's more of a pamphlet. Very thin and with rather big type. Some of the information is useful, but there just plain isn't enough detail on anything. Some Web addresses are provided (although some of them probably point to websites that no longer exist, as this book is from 2001), but I was hoping for more concrete information about day-to-day life in Korea. This is just too short to provide what I was looking for.Also, Korea is changing fast, and although this book is only a few years old, it's already a bit outdated. The same information, but more up-to-date, can be found on the internet for free if you do a few Google searches. This book isn't totally useless, but it's a very brief overview of a country that has so much more to it than the size of this book would suggest. I did find the history and politics sections helpful, but only because on these subjects I wasn't really interested in learning about them in-depth. To sum it up, I suggest you spend your $10 on a book that provides more actual information, instead of just providing Web addresses so that you can go looking for the info yourself.

This book was good enough to provide me with lots of information about living in- South Korea. Although I mostly used the information for my report, it also provided me with a new intrest in South Korea. This book gave me first-hand information about South Korea. I enjoyed it, certainlly not the best..but pretty good. ( This book does not include many statistics)
