KOREA

()

Street addresses in South Korea might be a little confusing and even for a taxi driver who spends all day roaming the city. Instead, you’ll find many Koreans use landmarks to describe their destination instead of addresses.

So, when you’re in a taxi and the driver reaches the area, try this phrase so they know to drive up a bit closer to your desired destination.

“Please go little more” = 조금만 더 가주세요 (jogeumman deo ga juseyo.)

(jogeumman 조금만 = little, deo 더 = more, ga juseyo 가주세요 = please go)
