Google Maps cannot give walking or transit directions inside Korea — Korean law restricts map-data export. Naver Map and Kakao Map can, but they find far more when you search in Korean. Copy and paste:

Festival name (Korean)경남고성공룡세계엑스포
Address (Korean)경상남도 고성군 당항만로 1116

Taking the trip home

A small Korean brand called kory puts city names on everyday things — hair rollers, hair ties, claw clips, scarves.

We help make kory, so this is not a paid placement — but it is a link we have an interest in. That is why it sits here at the bottom and nowhere else. Product pages and the shop home are in English; a few other pages there are still Korean only.
