I tried to search for this, but after 4 pages of nothing helpful I gave up. Can someone recomend a good bookstore? I want to find a book on learning Italian and some help would be appreciated. Thanks And also directions on how to get there.

Kyobo Books in Jongno may have an Italian primer. They have a section of foreign language books...I got my Japanese stuff there, and I remember being surprised how many other languages were available.
Otherwise you can order anything online through them.

umm. havent done alot of exploring yet. where's the kyobo in jongno?

Downtown metro Seoul...near the Blue House, and the big old Palace, and the art center, and the big statue of the Admiral. I believe it's line one, Jongak station that is the closest...or is it Jongno 3 or Jongno 5? Anyway, just get out around there someplace and look for a twenty-five story brown building that say 'Kyobo' on top. Ask anybody 'Kyobo Building odi sa yo?' or ask foreigners 'where is the kyobo building please?' and they'll hook you up.

It's about ten minutes from Insa-Dong, if that helps...and about five minutes from that weird steel building that looks like a spaceship.

Sorry my directions are so crap, but literally everybody on the street in that area will know where it is.
