Description: Sink or Swim; It's too soon to give up your life in Korea!?When first arriving in Korea, or in any new country for that matter, it is only natural to want to try and fit in -- or at least try not to offend anyone with your lack of knowledge of the local culture. As one will soon learn, playing the role of the ignorant foreigner gets old fast, and in fact may have the effect of prolonging the amount of time it will take to start feeling comfortable. Within just over 200 pages Ryan Weaver's book,Seoul Survivor, provides the practical information needed to live in and navigate Korea's dynamic cityscape, the cultural insight to avoid embarrassing social blunders, adapt to the Korean work environment, and become well-informed of the country's most pressing social issues; The Challenge of Living and Working Abroad; Learning about a host country's culture, etiquette, and social/business practices can play an important role in speeding up the acclimation process.
