About the Book

Over the years, Koreans all over the world have been visiting and living in their native land. Many travel books have been written about Korea but books written for the overseas Korean audience are far and few between. Finally, here is a book written not only for Koreans who are curious about or want to visit Korea, but one written from a Korean-American point of view. This is important because Koreans who have lived most of their lives outside of Korea are viewed and treated differently from people of other ethnicities who come to Korea. This book will teach you how to live, teach, and survive daily life in Korea written by a person just like you. I welcome anyone, though, Korean or not, to give this a try if you have so much as a passing fancy of life in the land of the morning calm.
