Korea, The Basics
What no one tells you before you land โ and what it costs to find out too late.
Choose your edition
Pays with PayPal. Your download starts the moment payment clears โ the Korean edition is bundled in the same file.
Why this book exists
The things no one tells you cost the most.
Google Maps will route your bus, but it will not tell you that skipping the exit tap breaks your transfer and charges you again. Blogs still show fares from years ago. This book covers only the rules of Korea that stay true โ and what each one costs you when you learn it late.
Day-one mistake nยบ1
The bus you forget to tap out of
Leave by the rear door without tapping and your free transfer dies โ the next ride charges you in full, and no one will tell you why.
Chapter 7 ยท Getting Around
Day-one mistake nยบ2
The tip someone returns
Leave money on the table and someone may chase you down the street to give it back. The menu price is the price โ restaurants, taxis, salons alike.
Chapter 6 ยท Money, and the Tip You Donโt Leave
Day-one mistake nยบ3
The bill that never comes
Nobody brings a card machine to your seat, and waiting politely just leaves you sitting there. The slip is on your table; the counter is by the door.
Chapter 9 ยท Eating Out
Real photographs, not only rules. The book does not just explain how Korea works โ it shows you what it actually looks like.
Hangul and the food, explained. How to read Korean signs and menus, and what is actually in the dish in front of you.
Every number sourced. Official sources listed at the back; unverifiable figures left out.
All 20 chapters unlock with the book.
Nothing here goes out of date next season โ no restaurant lists, no opening hours, no prices that rot. A 179-entry index points at the same page numbers in all three editions.
These pages are blurred in the image itself, not by your browser. The full 231-page PDF unlocks on purchase.
FAQ
