I will when I get hold of my friend's copy, or purchase my own one for the rip off price that we are charged in Korea. Im surprised the PC police / Korean netizens haven't brought it up actually.

Have any of you got the lonely planet for Korea? They really lay into Korea, Korean people and Korean culture in that book. It was like something off of Dave's.


Hope you can share some choice comments from them. They're noted for sardonic humor.


the netizens/nationalists did bring it up,quite a few yrs ago..and it has actually been toned down as a result of their protests.
the worst comments,that used to be inLPguide included "nobody in their right mind would date a korean man"

these comments drove the k guys nuts...howz that for bad PR.

Wow, this is so eerie, because an old Korean friend of mine just recently told me that, but seriously, not in jest. I guess its not polite to laugh in the face of compliments, so I just said thanks.
