5 Basic fact for backpacker in South Korea

South Korea

1. 영어Koreans don't like to speak English, you must be lucky if you travel around and ask about something, then they answer your question in English. Better to ask for university student if you have any problems.

2.  한글If you truly want to discover deeply about Korea, you need to learn 한글 (hangeul) Korean character, because 98% of the banner is written in hangeul. And even if you want to order food you need to struggle around to read the hangeul. and after you could read it then what? you need to know the meaning, don't you? that's why we need number 3!

3.  사전과 지도Download application NAVER Dictionary to help you survive for number 2 problem and to do some basic survival Korean, like 'how much is it' 'can i have some water' 'i want to pay' and so on. another application that i strongly recommend to you is NAVER map. In my backpacking experience, this is my savior. unfortunately, the language is Korean so go back to number 2.

4.  반찬Side dish! when you go to Korean Restaurant you will get huge amounts variety of food that you didn't order. Yes, don't be confused, it's your side dish, they always provide the side dish with your main course. it's the way to get full of your tummy before you take your adventure.

5.  술Strong drink culture. Here there are some different kinds of alcohol drinks, ranging from the popular soju, makgoli, to beer. The price of soju is cheaper than the mineral water here. So, it's heaven for heavy drinker.

This is my personal 5 basic rules to backpack in Korea. i will post about the detail one later, and my personal route to enjoy Korea. Stay tuned.
