For me it was Brasov in Romania. It was more beautiful than I had expected and really liked the vibes of this medieval city.

Seoul. I was barely 18 and got stationed there. I was expecting grass huts and donkey carts based off MASH or other movies I've seen.

But I was legitimately shocked. Like you know in movies when someone goes through Tokyo for the first time and they are starting struck, that was me in Seoul.

What? You went to Seol in 2002 and expected grass huts? Never heard of LG or Samsung?

I was 18. I didn't really care about what companies were headquartered in which countries.

Oh, snap! We may have been drunk in some of the same bars!

[–] Ejh3k 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's possible. I did a lot of drinking.

I assume Seoul looks a lot like it does in Agents of Mayhem which is to say, one of those futurist curvy paradises of white concrete and vert (flowers, bushes, trees) with pop-out holographic cute Pokémon-like creatures who deliver scientific factoids or PSAs (which didn't inform gameplay, just life in Seoul).
