Seoul is the capital city of Korea. It has more than 580 years of long history as a capital city in this country. The satellite image from google map shows appoximate land size of seoul, though it is not all included in this sqare size. Apparently it's not that big city if you are just looking at the size of the city. BUT, there are more than 10 million people. To help your understand, I put another picture of Newcastle with the same scale. I don't know how many people live in this area, but you can imagine what it would like be if there are 10 million people here.
It's not good. Absolutely not good. Very crowded, traffic jams, all kind of pollution, and crimes. Well, some people might enjoy real city like life in Seoul. There are heaps of things to enjoy and eat. Good public transportation, clean public toielts, big screen movie theatres, and so on. Neverthless I'd rather choose Newcastle if a choice is given where to live. I love fresh air and water in here.
This is a graph showing the changes in population of Seoul since 1951. Data are taken from govement website, and I made a simple graph with excel.
