Seoul is a busy city that mixes modern and traditional elements, offering a different experience that makes visitors return. While the cafes and sights are nice, getting around the city can be challenging, especially since English is not commonly spoken. The public transport system is effective and cheap, but it can get full, especially during peak times. The atmosphere here is lively, with bright lights and trendy places appearing everywhere, and locals showing creativity in areas like Seongsu, where you can find interesting cafes and shops. The food is a highlight—make sure to try Korean BBQ or popular street foods like gimbap. Keep in mind, eating alone can be a bit uncomfortable since many restaurants focus on groups, but you can find welcoming places like ramen and dumpling shops for solo diners. Safety is a big benefit, and you can walk around the city at any time. It’s fine to leave your things while you get a coffee, and the fast Wi-Fi makes it easy to stay online. Just...

This city has a lot of things. No matter what you’d like to do, you can probably find it here. From various restaurants, to different hobbies. However, if you happen to be working with the same schedule as locals, be ready to be stuck in the crowds. It’s one the safest places I have stayed around the world, feeling like I can move anywhere in the city during night without fear. If you like...

편리한 교통시설 그리고 재미있는 엔터테인먼트를 즐길 수있는곳이다. 시민의식이 높아 치안도 좋고, 밤문화 활성도 많이되어 쉴틈없이 늦은밤까지 꽉채워 재미있게 놀수있는 곳이다.

All the best in terms of safety, culture, infrastructure, and people - but can be overwhelmingly crowded especially if you try to jam in metro during rush hour
