Personal Reflection & Conclusion for Seoul, South Korea

Seoul is an incredible city, brimming with mouth-watering food, exciting attractions and unforgettable shopping spots. The amount of things to do, see and eat in Seoul is endless, and unique experiences await you on every corner. This was my first time visitation to Seoul, South Korea and I highly recommend it as a travel destination. There are few reasons that I think Seoul, Korea is awesome.

Public transportation

Public transportation in Seoul is very convenient and affordable. You can get to pretty much every corner of Seoul only relying on subways and buses. Public transportation is also very safe in South Korea.

Nature

The major parks in Seoul are kept clean, and they’re very accessible, even with public transportation. Bukhan Mountain is a national park that can be climbed in less than a day for some of the best views of Seoul.

Food

The food is affordable for everyone, you can get lunch and dinner for 6,000 won (RM24). In addition, Korean food is very well-balanced with vegetables and meat in every meal. Living in South Korea will change your diet, and it’s probably for the better.

Internet

In South Korea, you’ll be spoiled by super-fast internet speeds. Bus, subway and high speed trains all have Wi-Fi. There are also many cafes that offer Wi-Fi for free or even latch on to the plethora of unprotected Wi-Fi spots.

Affordability

Living in South Korea can be very affordable for those looking to save money. If you get a job at there, many companies pay for your housing and that’s a huge money saver. A night of having karaoke session or watching a movie can be less than 10,000 won (RM40). Although Korea is one of the richest nations in the world, the prices are still very affordable for many.

Safety

Generally speaking, South Korea is a very safe place. Many people will leave their laptops, mobile phones and bags and go to the bathroom with complete faith that their stuff will be there when they come back. Also, women walking home alone past midnight are also a very common sight.

 Delivery in South Korea

The delivery culture in Korea has been around for a while, and it’s developed its own unique benefits. Also, delivery goes to places without addresses. For example, you can order delivery while having a picnic on the field and swimming pools. The delivery in South Korea is not limited to food. If you’re going to an important meeting but forgot your notes, you can have that delivered to you in less than an hour too.
