I lived in Seoul for almost two years about 10 years ago and I'm stricken with how the photos depict it almost exactly the same as I remember. It seemed at the time there was an un-ending amount of construction, I suppose there are probably many new buildings, but seemingly still in the style that I remember.
I was particularly fond of buying beer and sitting at the little tables in front of the convenience stores on warm summer nights, just enjoying the sights.
He also mentions the number of scooter deliveries, something that blew my mind at the time, was when we ordered delivery, someone would arrive on a scooter and drop the food off and it was all on re-usable plates wrapped in plastic. When you were done, you put the dishes in a bag in-front of your door and the delivery person would come back later to pick the dishes up. I wonder if that still happens.

Itβs all one-use plastics now as delivery apps like Yogiyo replaced most of in house delivery drivers.

You'd love the coffee and beer culture in Hanoi =)
