So You Need 50 Reasons Why Seoul is the Greatest City??

Couple of weeks ago, CNNgo published an article 50 Reasons Why Seoul is the World's Greatest City.

While I do agree with most of the things on the list, i.e. live octopus, ice princess (kim yuna), 찜질방, beautiful (fake) women, and etc... I think they forgot one thing - the public transportation. Many will agree that Korea's public transportation is very well connected, very informative, and English friendly all at a reasonable cost. Here is a map of subway system in Korea. It literally covers every grounds on Seoul. If you need to find a subway station, you can walk for about 5 minutes, and BAM!! There it is. What? You don't feel like walking? Hop on the metro bus, which literally comes every 5 to 10 minutes, and it will most likely stop at a subway station.

Putting public transportation aside, I think the list is almost right on. If you are planning to visit Korea anytime soon, I suppose this list will be a great introduction to the city.
