About this product

Product Information

Part memoir, part miscellany, My Korea is based on the author's forty-five years of cross-cultural experience in Korea which he witnessed emerging from its primitive culture of the 1960s to its position as a modern, dynamic state and one of the major players in world economics today. For new arrivals and old hands alike, it provides a humorous, anecdotal introduction to the "Land of the Morning Calm"--everything, in fact, a foreigner needs to know to survive and even thrive in an alien culture. Essays, poems, and stories illustrate life in old Korea, from the classical Yangban's Tale, which shows class distinctions in traditional society, to the hilarious Hogyun's Tale, which shows how a business man should approach the problem of making money in Korea. There are essays on Confucianism and Buddhism and on Korean language and Korean literature.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
