My Hometown My Hometown is Seoul, Korea. Seoul is the largest city and the capital of Korea. Many people work and live here. Many companies, government offices, universities and other huge businesses are located in Seoul so there are many job opportunities. That is why the younger generation wants to live in Seoul nowadays. Actually, this has created a problem in Korea because there are no young people living in the countryside anymore. I was born in another town far from Seoul but my family moved to Seoul because of my father’s job opportunity. I lived in Seoul from age 2 to 26 years old. Now I live in the US, so I can realize more how important my hometown is to me. When I think about my hometown, I feel happy. It’s interesting for me because when I lived in Seoul, I didn’t have these kinds of feelings. Remembering my hometown makes my life enriched. I have some places I love but still Seoul is my best place in the world. I can enjoy a lively and peaceful mood near my neighborhood. There are lots of neighborhood events like music performances, arts and crafts, and global food festivals. My neighborhood is very safe so it is a good place for families with children. There are lots of peaceful walking roads too which are very good for baby strollers and baby bicycles. I recommend places in Seoul. I especially recommend to travelers who visit for the first time the following places: Gyeongbokgung is the largest and most iconic royal palace. N Seoul Tower offers panoramic city views. Bukchon Hanok Village is a traditional Korean house (hanok). Myeong-dong is a popular shopping & street food area. Dongdaemun Design Plaza has futuristic architecture and there are a lot of galleries. My favorite places in Seoul are historic buildings like Gyeongbokgung, Changgyeongguung, and Jongmyo. I like to walk around these historic buildings. When I feel bad, I always go there and walk. That gives me energy and I feel better. The moods of the northern and southern parts of the city are very different. The northern part is peaceful and has many parks, whereas the southern part is lively, modern and crowded. I recommend going to both areas. Like I mentioned before, I love my hometown. Yebin is a student in the Advanced ESL class in the morning
