Whether it's 새댁 요코짱의 한국살이 (ISBN : 8990787084), 158公分的陽子小姐 (ISBN : 9867291190) or ソウルで新婚生活 (ISBN : 4479761349), I'll bet it is a good read, which I took less than 2 days to complete it! Tagami Yoko (田上陽子) has created such a good book, and it's rather fun to read, even though the book is a bit expensive to buy in Malaysia. It costs me around RM41, where if I were to buy the Chinese version, RRP is NT$250 (around RM29). It is only slightly cheaper than Japanese version RRP, which is ￥1,365 (incl. tax) (around RM44). The original Korean version is only ₩8,500 (around RM33). I bought the Chinese version, although I got to know this book from my Korean teacher, in which she bought the original Korean version. My sister loves it as well.
It's a book about Yoko-chan (a Japanese lady who is married to a Korean), and her life in Korea. It tells you about the culture shock she has gone through, and in some instance, comparing it to those in Japan. Some stories are rather hilarious. After reading the book, I found that the things that she found it rather surprise can be seen here in Malaysia as well. It makes me wonder how similar is Korea to Malaysia, like the bus experience, the hidden danger and so on.

man, at 1st glance it looked like a comic porn who is nervous and cold sweating with the front down part facing away.. not even sure whether it's a he or she? but sounds like a good read..
I love the book very much. It's a good read. I must say, so far, the books my brother has in possession are worth a mention and of course reading. I enjoyed reading them myself.
Should you guys need any book for reading, do come by to our cartons of our "library" collection. You will be amazed with what insighful and nostalgic collections we have.
