Description: "Cultural Dimensions - South Korea" is written for the serious traveler or expatriate who wants to go far below the surface of the 'do's and dont's' advice on how to get along in Republic of Korea. Here's an example of what you'll find:
The Importance of Rank and Status
Although the Korean system of vertically-organized rankings of people is somewhat diminished today, judging one's self and others according to a strict criteria is still of critical importance in Korean society, especially in the workplace. That criteria includes family origins, education and title.
Korean society is divided into a number of principal class divisions with numerous subtle gradations within each class. People in the higher classes will often go to extremes to avoid dealing with or even acknowledging those of lower status. This phenomenon affects the workplace and affects even foreigners working in Korea.
Your personal status while on assignment will depend on:
Your rank or job title
The status of your company within the industry sector
The status of the industry sector itself.
Your Korean counterparts will be extremely interested in finding out as much about you as possible, primarily in order to determine what rank or importance you should be assigned within the informal, but highly significant pecking order in the workplace.
This behavior is quite normal, even unconscious for the Koreans, but can be disturbing to newly arriving foreigners, especially those without significant job titles. Every new employee introduced into a Korean work group must immediately be placed properly by the group within its hierarchy. Until this is accomplished, relationships cannot be developed and work can slow down and get off track. This is the reason business cards are so important.
The pecking order may not seem especially relevant to the newly arrived westerner. You may not consider rank and status terribly important for yourself. But you must recognize that to the Koreans it means everything. Those who rank themselves above you will not want to deal with you except through your superior. Those who rank themselves below you will not understand if you want to deal with or socialize with them. You will lose status with the group if you do.
Finally, please avoid the trap of automatically gravitating to those in the workplace or social scene who speak the best English, or who seem most westernized in their ways, or who appear to be really hustling to be your new best friend. Such people may or may not be of the appropriate rank, and casual associating before you get the lay of the land can hurt your effectiveness.

Description: The Lonely Planet's "City Guides" series provides in-depth coverage of cities around the world, in a pocket-sized format. Each guide features: detailed colour maps of the most interesting areas of the city, as well as gatefold maps on the inside front and back covers for an overview of the city; colour photographs throughout; accommodation and restaurant suggestions for a range of budgets; information on day trips away from the city; advice on getting around using public transport; a shopping guide; and a list of "musts" to see and do. This "City Guide" covers Seoul, the cultural hub of Korea. It contains complete details on getting around, and on getting beyond the metropolis into the narrow alleys and back streets, where it is possible to catch a glimpse of an older, more traditional Seoul.
