Unfortunately I didn't get to use this book nearly as much as I had hoped while living in Korea! I expected to spend all my free time traveling around the country. While I did get a bit of travel in, the majority of it was with a soccer team and thus sightseeing wasn't high up on our priority list!

Even so, I was able to use the book for a few out of Seoul adventures, most notably a week on the enigmatic island of Jeju!

The Jeju part of the book was incredibly useful as much of the local literature on the island is published in Korean only!

Again, LP stands out to me with regards to lodging and maps, two things that are very important to me when traveling!

AMAZING little book, can fit perfectly in the cargo pocket of your military uniform with plenty of room to spare.

I still don't know Korean. But this is a great little book!

I read this because I plan on holidaying in Seoul in October of this year (2017) and plan to live and work there in 2019 as an English teacher.
I'm not going to give this a rating, but it got me so excited to visit so many places and learn new things! The section on Korea's history in the back was also really helpful and interesting!
