Publisher Description:
"Cultural Dimensions - Korea" was written for the dedicated traveler, professional or business person, and serious expatriate who wants to hit the ground running in this complex cultural environment. This is not a book about manners and etiquette - rather, it focuses on what any foreigner needs to know about how their own cultural values and perspectives are likely to interact with the values and perspectives of their Korean counterparts, co-workers, and friends. Mastering the contents of this book will propel you a long way toward the goal of being able to integrate yourself as seamlessly as possible into the social and business life of South Korea. Tim Leffel, a well-known travel writer has this to say about 'Cultural Dimensions - Korea" "I checked this one out first because I spent 14 months there as an English teacher in the late 1990s. To say it was a struggle sometimes from a cultural standpoint is putting it mildly. Some expats couldn't deal at all and they bailed out. Others coped by doing nothing but working and hanging out in expat bars, avoiding contact with most locals. Others just got bitter and were a royal pain to be around. The easiest course is to go with the flow, and this guide has plenty of advice on how to do that. I found the information throughout to be spot-on and consistent with my experiences there. I wish I'd had this in hand before I moved there and started working." http: //travel.booklocker.com/tag/expatriate-guides/
