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.Binding Type: Paperback

Wash before wearing — the dye will run
Size: Small, Color: Royal Blue
Make sure you wash this shirt before wearing. Maybe even two washes. The color WILL run and dye your skin. (I was impatient and wore it before washing and ended up with a blue torso)
Otherwise, it fits well. I’d put it as a regular fit rather than a slim fit. Very soft, albeit synthetic, material.

Good Fit but too long
Size: Medium, Color: Army Green
I would give these shirts a 5 star rating if they weren’t so long over the waist, even a medium sized it doesn’t matter way too long

A T-shirt chic? YES!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Wine Red
This is the second one of these shirts I’ve ordered. I don’t wear ties anymore, so I actually wear this mock turtle neck under a blazer, or a sports coat as my father used to call them. I wore a blue one the other evening and I wore it underneath a plaid blazer. Whoever would guess a T-shirt could be quite so chic. It stretches plenty, it’s light and it’s so comfortable. I have two of them now and I’m deciding on a third one.
