“What shall we do this weekend?” is a happy question that everyone around the world asks as the weekend approaches, and it is no different for office workers in Korea. For more than two years, “Joomalang2,” a newsletter published every Friday, has introduced travel destinations, exhibitions, restaurants, and other places to make your weekend more eventful. It has recently published I Waited for the Weekend to Go Here, a compilation of 300 Korean hotspots you will regret if you don’t visit right now. It features a selection of popular spots that have been well-loved in the past along with thoroughly researched new information, so if you are looking for a place to experience a Korean weekend, you should definitely check it out!
What makes this book particularly appealing is that it doesn’t just tell you about good travel destinations, but also introduces the various charms of Korea by classifying them in a variety of ways, such as by type and taste. Starting with exotic places where you can have a unique experience, the book features places to go in Korea for each weather, seasonal trips in the four seasons, and hidden neighborhoods that even Koreans don’t know about! The book provides travel information based on “Joomalang2’s” unique criteria, which differs from traditional travel books that classify places by region. Plus, it also includes travel tips throughout the book, such as a travel type test, photography tips, and a playlist for a relaxing trip by adding the “Things to Enjoy” part. So, why not grab I Waited for the Weekend to Go Here this weekend and start planning a trip to Korea that is full of charm?
