I’ve been living in South Korea for 4 years, but in the city.
Therefore we decided to spent time in very rural areas which to be honest are kind of dying here in Korea. Many shops and tourist attractions are closed.
But it’s amazing to be so close to nature.
I’ve heard an opinion that it’s good for rural places to “die out” like that, because if most people live in the cities, it’s easier to mitigate the damage they do to the ecology. (when there is political will to do so, ofc…) Anyway, what’s your feeling about that, after being in that rural area? Is it better ecologically for people to be concentrated in cities?
For the environment it might be better, but for the people I don’t know, I always liked it much more to live in the countryside and never really liked living in cities, even though I have to now.
