This week, I learned about the geography of South Korea. I liked how we used an actual map to visualize all of the different regions because I am a visual learner, so this was more helpful than just verbally telling me where everything was.
During my study abroad experience at Yonsei University, I will be staying in Seoul, which is the capital of South Korea. It is special because it is recognized as both a city and a state. Although it’s a small region, 50% of the whole population in South Korea live here. Gyeongido is the “Seoul suburb” area that surrounds Seoul and Incheon is to the left of Seoul. When I study abroad, I will be landing at the Incheon airport, so it’s important that I know where this is located.
I am also interested in knowing where Busan is located because I have family who live there. I learned that it’s quite far from Seoul because it’s towards the bottom right edge of South Korea, while Seoul is located on the upper left corner. Nevertheless, I am excited to be able to explore all of these different cities and states in South Korea, during my study abroad experience next semester!
