A little info on South Korea

Soo I realized a few days ago that I do not know much about South Korea! I remember researching Africa and Jordan for hours and days on end, and I really think Korea deserves just as much time and energy! So I started doing a little research, and here are some interesting facts that I hope you will enjoy!

1) Baseball is their #1 watched sport

2) South Korea has gotten more medals than any other Asian country, in the winter olympics

3) About 50% of the population is Atheist, 30% Christian, and 22% Buddhist. I bet you thought they were mostly Buddhist right? They also have the largest Christian church in the world (830,000 members)

4) South Korea and North Korea are not buddies. :/ Especially after this March (Korean warship)

5) Its really really hot in the summer, and humid, and there are monsoons...BUT it can get down to -20 in the winter!

6) Over 90% of the population owns a cell phone

7) Incheon International Airport has been rated the best airport in the world for four consecutive years. I'm pretty excited to see this!

8) They have a very high population density-487 per square kilometer, which is 10 times the global average. Also, the Seoul National Capital Area is the world's second largest metropolitan area (24.5 million people)

9) Chungcheongbuk-do is the only land-locked province in South Korea, and it is where I am going!

10) Their cuisine consists of a ton of fish, vegetables, meat, rice, noodles, and tofu. Kinda nervous about this, but I'll survive!
