1. Huh? Really?

2. In my personal opinion, even New York City doesn't quite compare to Seoul. I live in the U.S., and some of my friends agree with me on this. In major U.S. cities, the bustling, lively areas are often limited to specific pockets, whereas the entire Seoul metropolitan area has that big-city vibe. I’ve visited most major cities in North America, and none of them feel quite like Seoul

3. Wooooow but I do love Seoul too

4. It’s a city that really has everything. Why not check out some other places while you're at it? There are plenty of even more awesome neighborhoods

5. I can see why

6. I think it makes perfect sense. It has everything, a massive river, mountains, skyscrapers, traditional hanok houses, and even palaces. Plus, it’s safe, and there aren't any pickpockets

7. The Jongno-Gwanghwamun area is really great

8. Korea has really come a long way. A long time ago, when I was in the U.S., I used to feel a bit uncomfortable whenever I was around Japanese people, but now, the country has truly grown so much

9. Seoul is better than Tokyo

10. Even Korean people loves Seoul
