It's like getting a whole extra day in Seoul! [Spring 2015 Edition - Updated March 2015] Planning a trip to Seoul, Korea? Most visitors to Seoul have a wonderful time, but nearly all experience a common problem: Seoul travel books are full of serious errors! It's not the authors' fault. Seoul is over 600 years old, but life moves quickly! Fashion, social norms, laws and even buildings change constantly. The Seoul Survival Guide is published twice a year, and each new edition contains dozens of updates. Typical travel books go years between editions, and can develop serious errors very quickly, sometimes even before they hit shelves. Avoid the frustration of wasted time and money by supplementing your travel book with a copy of the Seoul Survival Guide. With less stress, plus the time and money you save, it's like getting a whole extra day in Seoul! Spend your time enjoying the food and culture, not on the mundane details of getting cash and navigating public transportation. Save Time and Money The Seoul Survival Guide has been mercilessly edited to just 40 pages of useful, relevant information. It's easily read in an airport terminal, and compact enough to carry with you throughout your trip. Follow this book's money-saving tips and the book will pay for itself within your first 12 hours in Seoul. Learn what you should do before leaving the airport; where and when to exchange money; which mode of transportation is best; where to eat and shop; how to get online. Each section includes useful words and phrases, both romanized (so you can say them yourself) and written in Korean (so that you can point to them). If you have a spare hour or two, you can even learn to read Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Contents: Introduction Before You Go General Information Safety & Emergencies Pronunciation Tips Useful Words & Phrases Arrival / Customs Money Phones Internet Access Taxis Subways Buses T-Money Prepaid Payment Cards Food & Dining Shopping Tips Sightseeing Tips Appendix A: Hangul, the Korean Writing System Appendix B: Essential Mobile Apps Appendix C: Useful Phone Numbers & Links Questions & Feedback

"The South Korean capital is energetic and sprawling; it's a 24-hour city that's home to some 10 million people and plenty of brightly lit billboards, skyscrapers and shops. But that's not all. Beyond the colourful clutter you'll find innovative building projects, lush green spaces and world-class museums, as well as a tasty spread of places to eat and drink. The Monocle Travel Guide to Seoul looks past the dazzling lights to discover what, and who, have brought this late-blooming city careering into the 21st century."--Back cover
