 FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 8, 2008
This is the best book I have yet to read about living/teaching in Korea. It has prepared me for my trip to Korea. I was amazed about everything the authors had to say. Having read this book has prepared me and therefore I know what to expect when I get there.
I would recommend this book to anyone who plans to travel to Korea to teach or may be as a tourist.

This book is great for the person that is considering moving to Korea to teach English. It helps you determine that maybe you aren't completely insane by wanting to move to a completely foreign culture half way around the globe.

This book was so helpful and very down-to-earth with real advice rather than irrelevance. Excellent for anyone desiring to go to Korea!

The book is a terrific guide for teachers traveling to Korea. I was employed through a recruiting agency so a small portion of the book was irrelevant. The only other complaint is the recommended books are hard to get a hold of. I have yet to find one that is still in-print. For a recent graduate with no teaching experience, and no teaching certificate, this book gave me some confidence and prepared me.
