For every fan of K-Pop music, Korean Wave dramas and Kimchi--or anyone intrigued by Korea and Korean culture--A Geek in Korea is a hip, new guide to the land of the Samsung smartphone and Gangnam Style.

Author Dan Tudor first arrived in Korea on the eve of the 2002 World Cup when South Korea played Italy in the finals. What he saw inspired him to return and work in Korea. Tudor served as The Economist magazine's Korea correspondent for three years and writes regular columns for the national daily Joongang Ilbo newspaper. Along the way, he has developed a great love and admiration for Korean culture and the Korean people.

A Geek in Korea reinvents the culture guide for the Internet age. Packed with articles and photographs, it covers all the touchstones of Korean culture--from Buddhism and Confucianism to chapters on the traditional arts and disciplines like Taekwondo. There are chapters on cultural code words and norms; personal relationships; business and technology; and symbols and practices that are peculiarly Korean. A number of chapters are devoted to Korean pop culture, with attention to the stars, idols, and urban subcultures associated with them. For visitors to Korea, the author includes a mini-guide to his favorite neighborhoods in Seoul and other places of outstanding interest.

Spotlighting the originality and creativity of the Koreans, debunking myths about them, and answering nagging questions like why they're so obsessed with education and success--Tudor has created the perfect book for the growing ranks of Koreaphiles in this inspired, insightful, and highly informative guide.

Nice, special treat
Every other night my dogs receive a wrapped chicken stick. They look forward to this around 7pm and then start to settle down for the night.

Every dog I’ve ever heard of loves these.
Style: Medium, Size: 10 Chews
The only thing my dog likes better is hooves. These are better by far for dogs.I feel good about the health benefit. This certain one in fact. Pricey but if your dog isn’t big they last a long time. Weeks or a month for my 12# dog. Subscribe and get in bulk. We had a 45# dog (since passed) If you give it to your dog for a period of time then remove it you can make it last longer. NEVER give a smaller one for their weight but you can go bigger. You don’t want choking hazard. I’ve never heard of any dog ever that didn’t want it. They may immediately love it or let it sit a few days wondering but once they start? They’ll guard it and go crazy.
