The Galbijim Wiki is a wiki run on MediaWiki software that is for and by expats in South Korea. It differs from Wikipedia in a number of ways:

  • Information is much more specific and related to daily life in the country (for example, List of movie theatres that do not show credits
  • It assumes a basic knowledge of Korean language in some cases and many external links are all in Korean
  • Naming conventions are slightly different regarding place names (writing Gyeongsangnam-do instead of South Gyeongsang)
  • Users may create Korean language courses of their own, create pages on vocabulary, or language tips

The license (GFDL) is the same as Wikipedia however, and content and pictures may be used freely. As of June 2006, the total number of pages is over 3,600.
