    Getting two maps

    Posted by RobGuv 1 April 2010

    Maps in Korea come in many languages but unfortunately they aren't usually bilingual. In countries that use the Roman alphabet this isn't usually a huge problem but with Korean (and other languages that use a different alphabet) this can cause some problems because the romanised Korean on most maps is frankly appalling and taxi drivers and the like will very often not understand you. Getting two maps, one in English and one in Korean however means you can navigate the English map and just point to the corresponding place on the Korean map, hopefully reducing the number of times you end up in the wrong place (although hopefully not completely eliminating this rite of passage for travellers.)
