DDD, Life in Korea explores cross-cultural life as it is lived here. Not modern or trad culture but both, and not your culture or their culture but our culture. It is intended both for foreigners and Koreans.. It is honest and edgy and often funny as it is the first of its kind that is intended for both foreigners and Koreans: it offers bi-lingual writing and cross-cultural material as much as it can.

You see when East meets West nothing is as simple as it seems. DDD is Korean slang for "Difficult, Dirty, Dangerous" to some and to others it is about "Design, Digital, DNA". Any of these 'D's' or their combination represent reality as it is emerging in dynamic Korea. And so our magazine/webzine wants to suggest in the boldest ways possible how life in Korea, as it can be anywhere, is beautiful, hilarious, challenging and worth the effort. We hope you enjoy ours.

To suggest what our readers and contributors are like, picture yourself kicking off your shoes than walking into a quiet Buddhist temple and sitting, or, coming up from the subway in Seoul unto a crowded street under the skyline, then consider a few lines from American writer Jack Kerouac,

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars¡¦"
