Re: [microsound] Finding it in Japan

I lived in Seoul from spring '86 to autumn '90.

I taught English in an Institute on Youido.
I lived near Shinch'on rotary for two years, and then in HaeBangCh'eon.

Where do you live?

Seoul is the same size as Seattle (96 sq mi) with 20 times the population.
That's how I think of it!
