“You remember Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun? Yeah, this really isn’t like those. It’s better” (San Francisco Chronicle).   Most people want out of North Korea. Wendy Simmons wanted in.   In My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth, Wendy shares a glimpse of North Korea as it’s never been seen before. Even though it’s the scariest place on Earth, somehow Wendy forgot to check her sense of humor at the border.   But Wendy’s initial amusement and bewilderment soon turned to frustration and growing paranoia. Before long, she learned the essential conundrum of “tourism” in North Korea: Travel is truly a love affair. But, just like love, it’s a two-way street. And North Korea deprives you of all this. They want you to fall in love with the singular vision of the country they’re willing to show you and nothing more.   Through poignant, laugh-out-loud essays and ninety-two never-before-published color photographs of North Korea, Wendy chronicles one of the strangest vacations ever. Along the way, she bares all while undergoing an inner journey as convoluted as the country itself.   “Much of the humor and poignancy comes from the absurdity of a fun-loving free spirit taking a vacation that’s more rigidly scripted and controlled than a presidential motorcade . . . Simmons’ photos—including an eerie image of a classroom full of schoolgirls playing accordions—further illustrate the bizarre nature of a country that, whether for good or bad, has been carefully controlled for generations.” —San Francisco Chronicle  “An irresistible read . . . A rare and fascinating look at the tourist’s North Korea in a work that is humorous, appalling, and very sad. A highly recommended and revealing glimpse into a secretive land.” —Library Journal   Read more

Korean is written vertically from top to bottom, but English arranges characters horizontally. Foreigners often find Hangul difficult to understand at first because the order and direction of writing are different. Therefore, I tried to make it easier to understand by roughly mapping Hangul vowels and consonants to the alphabet using colors. Having worked in a foreign company for over 10 years, I met foreign colleagues visiting Korea. They always asked me to teach them Hangul, and I taught them easily using this method. Read more

Exploring Korean history from its ancient roots to the present day, A Brief History of Korea is the story of a people with a rich and united culture that has become two Koreas in modern times—one isolated and secretive and the other among the world's most successful economies. Korean culture developed on a 600-mile-long peninsula, bordered on the north by mountains and three sides by the sea, set apart from the Asian mainland. Korea was one of the last countries in Asia to be visited by Westerners and its borders have remained largely unchanged since it was unified in the seventh century. Though it is one of the world's oldest and most ethnically homogeneous states, Korea was not born in a vacuum. Geographically isolated, the country was heavily influenced by powerful China and was often used as a bridge to the mainland by Japan. Calling themselves as "a shrimp among whales," Koreans borrowed elements of government, culture and religion all the while fiercely fighting to maintain independence from powerful neighbors. This fascinating book tells the story of Korean domestic dynasties, empires and states, as well as foreign conquest, occupation and division. Today, the two Koreas are starkly different—North Korea a nation closed to the world and South Korea an economic powerhouse and center of Asian democracy. Chronicling significant events right up through 2018's Singapore Summit, author Michael J. Seth presents a relevant, interesting and important history of Korea within a larger global context. Korea's history is a turbulent one, but ultimately the story of a resistant and resourceful people in search of lasting peace. Read more

Bridging the gap between East and West, The Farthest Place on Earth is an eye-opening, firsthand account of daily life in the most secretive, reclusive country on Earth.When it comes to North Korea, most people prefer to look in rather than out. Longtime travel guide Avraham Tashach is not like most people. A seasoned veteran with hundreds of tours in his thirty-year career as a professional guide, Tashach truly believed he had seen everything this world had to offer. But when the opportunity came to journey into the only lasting totalitarian communist regime in modern times, he expected to find fear and hostility. He expected to find camps and armed forces.What he found was a different North Korea.In The Farthest Place on Earth, Tashach uses a novelist’s compelling narrative and a historian’s precision to substitute the narrow, one-sided perspective of North Korea as a solely Orwellian society into a complex, multi-layered and hospitable—albeit foreign—country.Through eight excursions between 2016 and 2018—a chaotic period in North Korea’s relationship with the Western world—The Farthest Place on Earth takes readers on a street-level exploration of North Korea’s cities, villages, and unique culture, as seen from a Western perspective. Tashach is not afraid to break myths and confront hard truths about the country and its portrayal in Western culture. From bonding with local guides over shared experiences to donating a truckload of food to rural villages in the middle of a flash flood, this book shares incredible, unheard-of stories from the most isolated and possibly misunderstood country on Earth.

Overcrowded and overdeveloped, or still the world’s most beautiful island…?If you think you know Bali well, then it’s time to think again.For decades the travel press has been trying to search out ‘the new Bali’…yet ‘the old Bali’ never disappeared: it’s still thriving out west, where the people still maintain their traditional culture in villages that are bordered by deserted beaches, paddy terraces and jungles that, even today, are still haunted by deer, jungle pig, flying foxes and hornbills.This book was created to let sustainably-minded travellers in on the secrets that West Bali holds, and to offer some much-needed support to the families and small businesses that continue to maintain their cultural heritage in an area that is still overlooked by all but a handful of the millions of tourists who visit the island each year. More than 50 unique experiences are outlined in detail, along with 70 alluring hotels, resorts, homestays and eateries (to suit all budgets). Only the best have been selected out of the hundreds we’ve visited. They’re all either locally-owned or are committed to operating sustainably and to empowering the people who call this very unspoiled region home.In West Bali you’ll find ample justification for Bali’s continued place on the list of our planet’s most beautiful islands: wild volcanic beaches stretching for 30 kilometres yet completely devoid of sun-loungers; remote temples that few outsiders ever see; stepped paddy landscapes that descend like a giant’s staircase from the cloud-forested peaks to vast coconut groves that stretch as far as the eye can see. The traditional fishing fleet at Perancak - like day-glo psychedelic Viking longboats at anchor - has been described as the most spectacular fishing fleet in the world and yet relatively few tourists have ever set eyes on it.Take a glance at any map of Bali and you’ll see that the interior of West Bali is still unbroken jungle – roughly 600 square kilometres, occupying almost a tenth of the island’s total surface! Unmarred by a single road or dirt-track, this mountainous jungle is almost completely unknown and uninhabited. West Bali National Park is home to endemic ebony leaf monkey and Bali starlings, some of the world’s rarest birds - gleaming white avian dreams, with their flashing stripes of blue eye-liner.If you’re searching for off-the-beaten-track destinations and authentic Bali experiences this book could keep you travelling for months.By the author of Vagabond (one of National Geographic’s ‘6 top travel books of 2024’) and Kopi Dulu (one of Jakarta Post’s best books of 2022) Read more
