Seoul is a city of contrasts. From ancient palaces with centuries
of history to high-tech skyscraper of steel and glass, from ancient texts
dating back millennia to the highest rate of broadband Internet access in
the world, Seoul is a place where the old and new exist in harmony.
With one foot in the past and another in the future, Seoul is a city that
never ceases to amaze. Seoul is also the center of the so-called "Korean
Wave" sweeping Asia.
As Korean dramas, film and music reach a wider audience abroad, more and
more visitors are coming to Seoul to experience first-hand the city's rich
culture and make use of its extensive cultural facilities. Due to the
division of the nation and the proximity of the DMZ with North Korea just
an hour's drive away, some might think Seoul to be a somewhat risky place
to visit.
Foreign news reports aside, nothing could be further from the truth ---Seoul
is one of the safest places in the world for foreign travelers, with low
levels of crime, a hospitable population, cutting-edge medical facilities
and capable police and security authorities.
Seoul's security situation, in fact, has never been better. |
