This book shows that you can have a rewarding time in a single place, not rushing around, taking things slow and focusing the mind on details. <br/>In this essay, the author narrates a day spent exploring the Jeong-dong neighborhood in Seoul. Starting at dawn as a day breaks and continuing through the day, he tells a rich story in Korean history and meaning while avoiding heavy historical facts. <br/><br/>It is written from the point of view of a foreigner who lived on the street and gives his perspective of life in Korea and his ideas and philosophy about travel keeping the poetic and humorous tone. Also, the illustrations of the key sites and scenes have a contemporary and unique appeal.</div> <div style="margin-top:1em;"><div style="margin-bottom:0.5em;"><b style="font-size:110%;">저자(글) Michael Gibb</b></div>British-born Michael Gibb has worked as an editor, reporter, copywriter, university lecturer and broadcaster since moving to East Asia in 1992.
