Blogging...
I've started blogging as practice and preparation for my six-week walk along the south coast of Korea later this year -
It's quiet here now, but hopefully people can share later if they're doing something similar.

Thumbs up to the book titled Korean: Lonely Planet Phrasebook
Thumbs up to the book titled Korean: Lonely Planet Phrasebook A decent phrasebook. Like most phrasebooks, it's not really culturally adjusted, so there are things in here that are technically correct but which just don't make any sense to use in Korea(n).

Thumbs up to the book titled Langenscheidt's Pocket Dictionary Korean/English English/Korean
Thumbs up to the book titled Langenscheidt's Pocket Dictionary Korean/English English/Korean Not so good for Korean to English, but a good 'speaking' dictionary. That is, it will help you say what you mean. *May* be OK for listening, as you can attempt to look words up phonetically instead of using Hangeul, but this leaves you at the mercy of their approach to romanisation, which is a challenging problem.

Thumbs up to the book titled Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader: North Korea and the Kim Dynasty
Thumbs up to the book titled Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader: North Korea and the Kim Dynasty Excellent modern history of Korea, giving context to the development of the North by describing what was happening in the South at the same time.

Thumbs up to the book titled Teach Yourself Korean (Teach Yourself Complete Courses)
Thumbs up to the book titled Teach Yourself Korean (Teach Yourself Complete Courses) Excellent introduction to the language, and pocketable. The CD is less helpful, as the dialogues are really slow, but OK as a guide to pronunciation.

Thumbs up to the book titled Moon South Korea (Moon Handbooks) Lots of detail for the cultural traveller.
