When you want to find something about Korea, Go where?

Google is one of the most famous search engine over world. However in Korea, we are not using that site to search information.(probably in my case)

Instead of Google, there are some useful portal sites that Korean usually use. It almost written in Korean, but you can follow link or picture as you see the monitor. Just try it, if you don’t know any Korean.

1. www.naver.com

2. www.daum.net

3. www.nate.com

Above sites are my favorite portal sites for seaching. Give it a try, and when you need help feel free to ask me.
