.Seoul (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > South Korea
by: Martin Robinson

June 01, 2006
This guide-book is excellent if what you're looking for is facts, phone numbers, and names of places to help you find your way around the capital city. The book has helpfully included lots of Hangul/romanisation of names which is always useful when you're not familiar with the Korean alphabet/new in Korea/easily lost!(or all three). There are plenty of listings for accommodation, eating out and getting around but the book rather lacks in giving the reader a feeling for the culture and atmosphere of the city. The sections on each district of Seoul are rather dry. The book concentrates on the names of shops/restaurants in each area and what you can expect to buy or eat there; information about other things to do and the type of people who populate ...

.Moon Handbooks South Korea (Moon Handbooks) (Moon Handbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > South Korea
by: Robert Nilse

May 26, 2004
I bought this book having already had the Lonely Planet Guide to Korea and found it so so I thought I'd try this other book as the above review put in a favourable light. I'm just gonna say I think the above review stinks and that anyone who thumbs through this book will see its just pages and pages and pages of writing, dull old fashioned not really so relevant anymore writing at that. It was written in 1986 or something, sure its been updated but the feeling of what is now such a lively an exciting country is lost in this book.

It features no colour pictures, no colour coded subway maps, infact maybe not any subwat maps at all? Nodecent road maps, no close up maps of citie cetres or shopping areas. None that would actually make you ... Read More:
