Seoul, biggest city in Korea




Seoul is my hometown, which is the capital and largest city of South Korea. A megacity with a population of over 12 million, it is one of the largest and one of busiest city in the world. The Seoul National Capital Area, which includes the Incheon metropolis and most of "Gyeonggi state, has 24.5 million people, and is the world's second largest metropolitan area. Almost half of South Korea's population live in the Seoul National Capital Area, and nearly a quarter in Seoul itself, making it the country's foremost economic, political, and cultural center. You might think Seoul just looks like other busy modern cities like New York, LA, San Francisco or Chicago. But Seoul is well harmonized with old historical buildings and palaces, because Seoul has more than 2000 years of history.

We ate hamburgers and threw THE wrappers into THE recycle bin. We had A good time together." Thus far: A-
