Comparison

|
  I live in Daegu. Daegu is the third biggest city in Korea and 70% of our land is mountains, so my city is surrounded by them. My home is in a remote part of Central Daegu so it's easy to go to them. So, if you like hiking and climbing moutains, Daegu is amazing city. Because my hobby is hiking. London is a bit dull by camparison.
  The transport system is similar to London because my city also has buses, an underground system and trains. But the fare is miles cheaper than London because the fare is only 50 pence and we can transfer bus to tube or tube to bus without any additional charge if you touch your transportation card (Oyster) on a touch pad whithin 1 hour of your first touch. And we don't distinguish zones so you can only pay 50p regardless of distance.
  But there's no comparison with the environment. Because my city is surrounded by mountains so it gets a bit stuffy and my city has only a few parks in the certre of the city so I much prefer London's environment.
  We have 4 distinctive seasons and a lot of mountains. To enjoy seasonal sports, England is not even close to Korea because we can go skiing in winter and we can go swimming or rafting in summer in the valley.
  I've been to Brighton to see the beach. I think the beach in Brighton is nothing like as good as it is in Korea because our water doesn't contain lime, the colour of the sea is clean blue or green.
  My city's economy is nowhere near as strong as London's because London is the centre of European and World finance and famous for tourism so a lot of foreign tourists spend their money on sightseeing and tours.
  Near my city, there is a very traditional old city, Kyoung-Ju which was the capital of an ancient dynasty so it has rich heritage like big temples, marble sculptures, traditional houses, tombs of kings and so on. So I suppose there are paralles between the two cities.
  If you visit Korea you should climb the mountains, enjoy seasonal sports and visit ancient and old cities because there is nothing for tourism in Korea without them.
