50 reasons why Seoul is the world’s greatest city
There’s a reason Asian tourists have ranked Seoul as their favorite world city three years in a row. Actually, there are 50 of them.—>Link zum Artikel
Here my favorits out of the 50 reasons:
47. Best Airport in the World
For five years running, Incheon International Airport, which services Seoul and other nearby Korean cities, has been ranked the best airport in the world by Airports Council International. The sprawling, über-efficient facility is equipped with a golf course, skating rink, Museum of Korean Culture, casino, high-end spa and restaurants serving just about any kind of pre-flight meal you’d want
43. Beautiful women
Who cares if a lot of them are plastic?
33. McDonald’s delivers
McNuggets brought to your door 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Probably not conducive to dieting, but it’s hard to care when you have the 2 a.m. munchies.
39. Easting octopus alive
Sure, Oh Dae-su went a little overboard in “Oldboy” by swallowing that thing whole. But aside from fighting with your parents, nothing connects you with your primal self like a set of tentacles sucking on your tongue while you eat. Douse liberally with sesame oil at seafood restaurants such as the popular and unpretentious Gasiri.
29. Cable channels devoted to online gambling
Korea’s unofficial national pastime is dissected with such love that even losers can start to feel like winners.
20. Soju is cheaper than water
Soju martinis and soju cosmopolitans are debuting in bars overseas, but in Seoul, we prefer to drink the distilled rice (usually) beverage neat, or mixed with whiskey.
14. A bang for every occasion
Few people party like work-hard, play-hard Seoulites. Local bang (literally meaning “room”) culture provides the like-minded a place to gather and obsess over their favorite activities. Show off your hottest Karabutt dance at norae bang (karaoke lounge), watch movies in a DVD bang, play poker at a board game bang or slay all comers in Starcraft at a PC bang (internet café).
