Korean Places and Spaces Introduction
Abstract
A visit to Korea – North or South – is enjoyable apart from anything else because of the different daily customs and habits of the people. Despite many years of foreign influence, economic development, and globalisation, South Koreans have retained some daily customs and habits that will seem very different from those of visitors to the country. The following section examines the lifestyles and customs of South Koreans, focusing on the domestic and public spaces that condition their daily habits. These include discussion of Chejudo, family-run shops, bathhouses, and ondol heating systems.
