Notes:

All of this can change, if you've got any suggestions.

Korean names: I've tried to be consistent, except for Seoul. If you can't match any of the place names to what's in your book, let me know - there are lots of different transliterations. If your book is different, you may need to change my t, p, k, and ch into d, b, g, and j respectively (but don't change t', p', k', or ch'.) Then possibly change ô and û to eo and eu respectively. You can also see the Korean names I used in Han'gûl below.
