From modern Korean pop culture to ancient houses of worship, Seoul mixes traditional and modern life in a unique and vibrant atmosphere. If you only have a few days to spend in Seoul, you need to make the most of them. That’s what this travel guide is all about. Seoul and its home country of South Korea may shape your world view. Theirs is a story of courage and hope, of rebuilding from nothing, and of the undying spirit of the people of South Korea. The People of Seoul The population density in Seoul is nearly twice that in New York City! Most residents of Seoul are Korean, with pockets of Japanese, Chinese and minorities of expatriates. The population is over 1o million. The population of Seoul has been decreasing since the 1990’s, since it is an aging one, and the costs of living are high. The people of Seoul tend to be warm and welcoming, and tolerant of tourists who don’t quite know where they’re going. That’s helpful for travelers. Language Koreans speak… well, Korean. If you learn a few often-used words, it will be helpful for you. The language, however, is quite different from Western languages, in pronunciation and grammar. Different areas of Korea speak different dialects, but many people in Seoul speak standard Korean. This makes it a bit easier to communicate in the city, since you’ll be hearing predominantly the same dialect. Korean writing utilizes a phonetic system known as hangul. In this system, sounds are “stacked†into blocks that are representative of syllables. A committee designed the system, and although it looks like small circles and right angles, it’s actually logical and consistent. You may find that you can pick it up quite easily. Religious Beliefs In Seoul, the two main religions are Buddhism and Christianity. There are smatterings of other religions too, including Confucianism and Muism. Seoul has the largest Christian congregation in the world, at Yoido Full Gospel Church.
