Synopsis

Although the host of the 1988 Olympics and one of the most successful new economies of South East Asia, Korea in so many ways continues to project its 19th-century image of the "hermit kingdom" and remains one of the region's most obscure and enclosed societies. This book, therefore, attempts to lift the veil for the visitor with vital information on social relations and the outside world, business and social life, cuisine and entertainment, the Korean home, shopping, tipping and gift-giving, as well as some valuable insights into the situation regarding North Korea, including how to conduct oneself as a visitor to the north.
