Cyber Nation - Seoul

The South Korean capital Seoul is the most networked city in the world. In Seoul, almost every aspect of public life is guided by electronic technology. As shown in the figure above, the transport network relies on RFID cards to track passengers on buses, subways and taxis. In 2005, under the impetus of the municipal government, the Chinese translation of Seoul's name was changed from "Hancheng", which had been used for more than 600 years, to the phonetic "Seoul" of SEOUL. I personally like Seoul very much. Of course, its wireless network is one reason, but more importantly, many beautiful love stories happen here. I can't help but think about meeting My Girl in the elevator at the June 3rd Building.
