Comparison of my favorites places


SOUTH KOREA-SEOUL


FRANCE-PARIS



I love Seoul and Paris, in all the world, these are my favorites cities.
Seoul is in South Korea, Asia and Paris is in France, Europe.



Seoul is more traditional than Paris for the history of Korea and Korea's dynasties.
For me, Paris has more elegance than Korea in the architecture.



For me Paris has the most beautiful architecture created in the past times, the Eiffel Tower.
But, nowadays Seoul has the most modern builldings in Korea.
Seoul is hotter than Paris in summer.
Paris is more populated than Seoul, and more people visit Paris every year.




I ate a lot off france food and korean food, for me korean food is more delicious and healthy than france food because has a lot off vegetables. Normally the vegetables don't like me, but the mix of ingredients with the vegetables are really delicious than other dishes of vegetables.
