Blog Post #8 - Compare and Contrast: Two Products or Two Restaurants

   Every year, I go to visit an amusement park. When I'm in that place, it feels I'm in another planet. It makes me go back to my youth. Before going to that place, I have to consider which facility is better: one is Lotte World, the other is Seoul Land.

   The places are very big, so I have to walk fast to look around or take amusement facilities as much as I can. They have lots of similar exciting facilities which make me scared. Whenever I go to any amusement parks, I go get on the Viking first. I think that the Viking is the most basic and interesting facility. the atmosphere in both places is fantastic and dreamy, so I can take beautiful pictures there. Both also have their own very cute symbols which are really attractive for children.

  Lotte World is located in Seoul which is better for accessibility than Seoul Land located in Kyunggi province, but Seoul Land is bigger. half of amusement facilities in Lotte World is inside so that people don't need to worry about the unexpected whether. However, Seoul Land has folk resturants selling buchimgae and makgeolli outside. Lotte world has higher rides like gyro-drop and bungy-drop while Seoul Land has bigger and longer rides like blackhole 2000, roller coaster 999 and skyX. for winter sports, I can enjoy the figure skating at Lotte World or I can go sledging on the snow at Seoul Land.

  As comparing the two places I'd rather go to Seoul land this winter because I've never ridden a sleigh since I was young. I'd like to enjoy the real fun with childish winter sports.

Blog Post #7 - Compare and Contrast: Two Places

I was born and grew up in the Seoul city. This place has similar or different characters with Manila in the Philippines which I tripped to 4 years ago.

Both of them are the capital and have lots of people living there. The weather in Seoul has been changed every 4 seasons, but that in Manila is almost hot with humidity during the year. However, compared to the weather in the middle of summer in Seoul is exactly the same with that in Manila.

The main spot in both has many skyscrapers, shopping malls, hotels and coffee shops like starbucks but people in the road in Manila is even fewer than that in Seoul.

I enjoyed the sea food in Manila and there were many fish markets because the Philippines are around the sea.  Seoul also has many sea food restaurants but not many as those in Manila and Seoul is little far from the sea so it’s less fresh than Manila.

I can easily find taxies in both places anytime anywhere, but I never used the subway in Manila while major public transportation people can use conveniently in Seoul is subway.

There are several bars or clubs in both places, but I couldn’t go out at night in Manila because some places in Manila are a little less safe than those in Seoul. They can have guns but we can't.

I think people in both places are nice and kind. Those who live in Manila have different looks with us, but there are beautiful smiles, lovely kids and warm hearts.

  The number of people who use the public transportaion has been increasing these days. The government makes an effort to build more public transportation around Seoul. However, there are some problems caused by using public transportaion.

  First, the recent negative issue is the sexual haressment on the subway. Many women already had that kind of experience but, they couldn't tell anyone even just 5 years ago. It is still difficult for women to report the police. Even though some policemen disguising as casual people on the subway are under guide recently, it is hard to find criminals because of its stealthiness.
 
  Second, There are too many people using public transportation espacially during rush hour. People can't sit and even move. Moreover, the most serious fact is that it affects sexual haressment. It seems we can't find how to ease the congestion. This is the real problem in the future.

  Third, some bus drivers have bad driving habits. In fact, It makes people's feeling nervous. When they stop suddenly, it could hurt passengers. For example, people might tumble or fall in the bus. In addition, some accidents result from the wild driving. We can see some of that cases on the news.

  In conclusion, the public transportation has some bad inflences based on these reasons. It could been worse than now, so we should enhance the rules about the public transprotation. convenience is good, but it could negatively affect people who want to be convenient. We should deal with that side effects sooner or later.
