So I went to South Korea recently.
I used to come to Korea several times a year for business travel, but my last trip was almost 15 years ago.
So I was seriously impressed.
Not just that the bidet toilets now come with an enema button.
but also by how good the Seoul metro has become.
I took a lot of trains while I was there, not just to the touristy stuff, but also to filming locations in dozens of neighborhoods and cities all around Seoul.
Getting to all of these places wasn't just possible by metro, it was also extremely fast, convenient, and actually enjoyable because of the way the whole system works together.
Like, there is so much great public transit design visible in just this one clip alone that I'd probably need a whole YouTube video to explain it all, so I guess we better get started.
Seoul is a city that experienced extremely rapid urbanization.
In my previous video about Cheongyecheon, I showed that this is what the area looked like in the 1950s, and this is what it looked like by the 1970s.
