Travel Info How do you address an Korean envelope? If able please provide example.? Travel Tips You basically go from small to big. The building number to the neighborhood (dong) to the larger neighborhood (gu) to the city (shi) to the province (do) and then the zip code. Other people might tell you to go from big to small, which is true if you are writing in hangul, but it is not true if you are writing in Roman letters. 43-1 Yeokgok 2-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon shi, Gyeonggi-do, 238-345 Republic of Korea By the way, Seoul has no province (do) 505 Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, 140-232 Republic of Korea Others AltaVista website has a free language translator that includes Korean. (un-young ha -say yo) just get the name and address the postoffice will do the rest. (kum-sa-me-da) that is hello and thank you in korean I can help you if it's like one to Japan: Name: ------------ address: 2444 Inbe Bizen-Shi Okayama,Japan 705 made up address of an actual pen-pal Province/City/Street Name/Street and Building number/Building name/Room number/Area code/REPUBLIC OF KOREA do- this means province (Gyeonggi do/Gangwon do) gu- If its a large city such as Seoul it most likely will have a few different districts (Bundang gu, Jongro Gu) si- city (Seongnam si, Seoul Si) dong- street (Jongro dong, Jeongwang dong) For Example (pro) (city) (street) (number) Gyeonggi do, Siheung Si, Jeongwang dong, 1782-13 Samsung Plaza, Room #304 843-908 Republic of Korea Lived here a long time I cannot provide an example, but I can provide guidance to ensure your address is correctly written. Visit your nearest Korean Import Food Store and speak with the people working there. (Bring along some address labels, the peel-off type works best) Ask the people working there if they be kind and provide assistance with making some address labels, written in Korean, for using when mailing envelopes to South Korea. A good tip - if you make a small purchase of some items that interest you, the store workers will show appreciation by giving assistance to you. The only item you need to add is writing "South Korea" in English letters, so that U.S. Postal Workers can route the letters to the correct country. This is necessary; many American Postal Workers are unfamiliar with the writing differences between Korean, Chinese, Thailand, and Japanese writing. I have done this previously; I have never experienced troubles when sending items to South Korea. Also, you might want to provide your mail receiver in South Korea some address labels written in English; simply add the letters "U.S.A." on the lables. South Korean postal workers, many not fluent in English, will automatically recognize the U.S.A. written, then route to the correct country. |
