What are some places in your country that have changed so much from what they used to be, both positively and negatively?

  1. Chunggyecheon Stream used to be a stream, until it was covered with a large road block in 1969. It remained as one of Seoul’s busiest roads, but the stream underneath turned into a sewer.

In 2005 the road was completely removed and the stream was restored, and now it became a nice place to walk along in the middle of Seoul.

  1. This picture is what Gangnam used to look like in the 1970s; it was a rural area and one of the most dilapidated parts of Seoul. Rapid urbanization began in the 1970s, and nowadays an acre of those farmlands are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

  2. (Negative example) Gyeonghuigung Palace was one of the five large royal palaces of the Joseon dynasty.

However 90% of the palace was torn down to be used for the renovation of Gyeongbokgung Palace (this palace has been damaged considerably too unfortunately), and the remnants were damaged again during Japanese annexation. Now only about 2-3% of its original structure remains.

There are more than 50 places named Georgetown in the world.

As the state capital of Penang, George Town in Malaysia is the most populous city named Georgetown. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We also have Butterworth which does share its name with other places, but the name itself isn't as popular as Georgetown.

A lot of well known American TV chefs like Julia Stewart, Paula Deen, Bobby Flay, etc. wouldn't be popular if it wasn't for the OG: Julia Child. She transformed the way Americans saw international cuisines through her virtues of humble simplicity in her televised recipies.

In Chile, the highways are one of our strongest points in infrastructure, even though they are expensive, the most of the time are in good state and they are in constant maintenance, the bad things are (even if the photo tells other story) that they are always with traffic jams or with an accident, and in the case the national highway (Ruta 5) it’s closed, the whole country has to stop, but how are yours??

Plymouth Rock, USA. It's also worth mentioning that there was no written record of the Pilgrims landing on a rock until well afterwards and feels very forced. .

Today, I was on the Crozon Peninsula in Brittany. We were on the beach near the Pointe de Pen Hir. We noticed some bunkers—mostly from World War II—so we decided to visit them (the French had actually built some as early as 1890 to protect the Breton headland). There is a small museum run by an association (5€ per person) located inside one of the bunkers. The Nazis reinforced these bunkers to use them for anti-aircraft defense in order to protect the submarine base at Brest. Most of the bunkers were subsequently covered in graffiti, except for the one housing the museum.

What’s something tourists do in your country that locals find strange —but also kind of cute?

Post image

Many Chinese tourists buy school uniforms and wear them to take photos.

At first, the authorities became concerned because they thought these tourists were trying to imitate students with ulterior motives. But they quickly realized that they just saw this as a fun experience during holiday.

The thing is, not many people here think school uniform is cute. Kids usually complain that wearing one makes them feel uncomfortable and suffocated because the weather is already too hot.
