Places you must see before you die! 77 sights that will make your heart skip a beat. The most inspirational travel destinations carefully chosen by KBS A Walk Around the World. Intoxicating journeys, striking people, inviting scenery.

There is a wide, wide world out there with so much to see. However, it is impossible for one person to tread every corner of this world, the production team of A Walk Around the World traveled the world  nd chose 77 must-see locations for curiouswanderers. The cities captured by the video cameras of A Walk Around the World all had irresistible charm in common. Of the places whose history, culture, and life were brought to the screen, 77 were chosen for the book as the beating hearts of our planet, where man and environment have created a harmony over the years. The greatest merit of this book is its beautiful weaving of people and places. Whereas the TV episodes focus on one city at a time, this book highlights one spot in each city to encapsulate a sixty-minute episode into a few pages. Following the latest travel trends, each chapter turns the spotlight on local life and culture rather than monuments and antiquities. Each chapter looks at a market, a festival, or an intangible, traditional aspect of culture that will capture the interest of those hoping for a more intimate look at the locals, their culture and lifestyle. As informative as a world geography textbook yet as entertaining as a travelogue, The Ultimate Travel Dictionary provides readers the added fun of comparing history, culture, values, local color and identity among the destinations. The next step in the evolution of travel guides, The Ultimate Travel Dictionary takes readers on a sentimental journey around the world without their ever having to get off the couch. Just reading the book makes the reader want to pack up and leave in search of the 77 beating hearts of this planet. A great book for those planning a trip, those who need the extra nudge to buy those tickets, or those who see no point in traveling.
Warning: this book consumes its reader with wanderlust.

A book full of fresh mountain breeze and scent of wild flowers in a field. Gong Sun-ok writes stories about the origins of food. She had a lot to say to the people only look for tasty and healthy food. So she talks about the food in her childhood, the nature that the food came from (day and night, wind, air, sunshine), and the peoples reactions and emotions towards such topics. This book is a memoir of ‘poor but rich feast’ at the time of hunger, when meals were greatly appreciated and shared.
