I have travelled throughout Korea for more than a decade and Koje-do is one of my favorite places. Many tourists approach the Korean people with an attitude of superiority, and this will raise some angry reactions. Some foreigners believe that their own language is not spoken by anyone around and will make derisive remarks. Folks, there are 163 universities here.
