Culture Shock Korea style

Very interesting book about the differences in Korean culture and how to fit in in a new culture. Some editing mistakes, but a good read.

culture shock korea!

The book is packed with hints and suggestions. I have found the book interesting the moment I picked it up.I have found the book 100% accurate and suggest it to any Expat to Korea.My self living in Korea and working- this is extreemly helpful.

a MUST-HAVE for every traveler to Korea

I found very few inconsistencies between my experiences (living in Korea for nearly two months in the summer of 2000) and what I read in the book - even the parts about men and women. Having read it and having it with me made me feel so much more comfortable so many times because I knew what to do and what to expect. I strongly recommend it.

Excellent book! A real necessity if traveling to Korea!

I read this book about two months before taking a two week trip to Korea. Just about every cultural experience I had was outlined in the book. In researching other Korean books, this is the only comprehensive book on culture I could find. Don't just read it, study it. However, please take some time to really enjoy the Korean culture.

For business travellers, and long term visitors

I am teaching in Korea for a year. This book prepared me for what to expect when I got here. There is a lot of useful information for visitors. Korea's etiquette is so different from North America's that its necessary to be prepared before coming here! This book really helps prepare for the unexpected differences.
