ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it didn't really help here in Korea, so I'm saving it for when we go back to the U.S.
Meanwhile, identifying Korean trees, shrubs, and critters is very hit-or-miss, as the library doesn't have ANYTHING on nature here!
We've found the Ginko trees, Golden Sorceress spiders, and mockingbirds... And that's about it. LOL
I'm crossing my fingers for Alaska next!!!
