    Cari, have you ever tried one of Hyundai libraries? Each library has specific themes like travel, music etc. I think there are four in Seoul. I only went to two of them, and they had great collection of books (including english ones) and the places were so beautiful. The library itself is free, but you can only get in if you own hyundai card. If you don't own the card, ask arround if someone has hyundai card, bc members can take a friend to the libraries. I also heard that there's an app that you can use to get in to the libraries, but not sure.
    Btw great video! I decided i would go on bookstore tour today, your video made me want to read(and buy books) haha
