BOSTON 잡지에 

대한민국 중 에서도 주로 서울을 중심으로 편집이 된 관계로

여태껏 해온 영문 번역은 피하겠습니다.

밑에 보이는 사진도 거의가 한국사람이 찍은 것으로

제일 좋은 것으로 뽑아 올린 것으로 보입니다.

분명한 것은 세계적으로 IT강국 한국을 알리는 유명한

 잡지에서 금방 뽑은 자료 입니다.

그래서 정동하의 서울의 모정 + 서울의 찬가로 올립니다.

A Trip to South Korea

 

 

 

 

 

May 10, 2013 |

While neighboring North Korea makes worldwide headlines with threats and demands, South Koreans have adjusted slightly to possible dangers, but largely carry on with their everyday lives. The war that halted in 1953 reverberates strongly today, including the continued strong presence of U.S. military forces near the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas. South Koreans have rapidly become a country of digital natives, with city dwellers quickly adopting new technologies. The megacity of Seoul now has a population nearing 11 million -- more than 20 percent of the entire country, all living in one dense, sprawling city, home to highrise apartments, shamanistic shrines, and grand palaces. Collected here are recent images from South Korea. [36 photos]
