Based on my google street view tourism, South Korea feels more similar to poorer countries like Vietnam (maybe China) and less to countries like Japan or even Taiwan.
>>218770650better than Brazil.
>>218770650Looks like Taipei
Taiwan also looks much poorer than the stats suggest.Japan is the only Asian country that doesn't feel like a slum.
>>218770650Looks like Japan
>>218770719Taiwan isn't poor I was there it's just that the buildings aren't new
>even TaiwanThe fuck? Taiwan looks like Latin America. Easily the worst of the bunch, this is including the Chinese mainland
>Japan is betteryou mean we have more utility poles and more sovls
>>218770650it looks exactly like Japan with hangul instead of kanji
>>218770741>>218770756Ngl taipei has soul.so does tacihung
>>218770756>we have more utility polesdo you kidnap them?
>>218770756you're only showing the poorest places of the city. you're still first world.
>>218770738but it does look messy
>>218770741>>218770719I wouldn't say Taiwan looks bad
>>218770831That's the average market alley most of the markets look like pure chaos
>>218770782yeah, as comfort sex slave men
>>218770853Looks like Brazil, unironically.
>>218770887I'm not saying it looks bad or that it's a bad thing; on the contrary, I think it has character and seems pleasant.
>>218770904Only crime in Taiwan was the that a gay man thought I was a UFC fighter and asked me to pin him to the ground and fuck him
>>218770904It does actuallyBut I don't like your tone towards Latin America >>218770741You only see us as a bad example
>>218770676OP's pic is very safe and clean, but still ugly as fuck, sorry
>>218770947Yeah I know but I am saying the markets are a character on itself I remember some guy was selling porn and he tried to shake my hand
>>218770964it's only ugly because of the wires.
>>218770895kyaah
>>218770650That looks verbatim japan. I have no idea what you are talking about.
>>218770998Yeah this is beautiful
>>218770719it's really impressive how Japan managed to keep all their road grids while just upgrading their houses. other countries in the region razed their old districts to the ground and mostly went with very wide highways and tall commieblocksthe houses themselves are pretty ugly but they're orderly, modestly decorated and the residential streets are basically the same all over the country with just some slight differences in scalekeeping cars under control in Japan is also really impressive
>>218770650That's great, but your google street tourism is completely irrelevant
>>218771047Is this supposed to an irony? because the city does look beautiful.
>>218771059>>218771068Most of their buildings were built post ww2 because of how bad the terror bombing was I would compare it to how the ussr destroyed every German settlement they found because of revenge
>>218770756I'm something of a utility Pole myselfHEH
>>218771091No this is Huaelin it was beautiful I was the only white guy in every district outside of my hotel but weird part was that people asked if I was from Russia or Ukraine for some reason
>>218771093>destroyed every German settlement they foundgood effort but not enough
South Korea still has its comfiness but it's a similar vibe I get from China walk videos. Few decades old organicly raised districs next to huge as empty modern soulless plazas
>>218771093>Most of their buildings were built post ww2>most of their buildings were built post 1945Big fucking deal.
>>218771093>Most of their buildings were built post ww2 becausebecause they were made of wood tbqfh, very few countries still have old wooden houses in their cities
>>218770998Wires make everything look like a shithole. Brazilian cities look at least 30~40% less ugly without third world wires
>>218771068do you have something to contribute? please do
>>218771119Honestly the ussr went all out on Germany and they have reports on soldiers using dogs and pigs to torture officers But it's like how the Americans went all out after Japan bombed some locations in the us mainland
>>218771093>ussr destroyed every German settlement they found because of revenge
>>218771177I would visit Brazil but j would spend the whole time worried I will be robbed or attacked
>>218771199well not all of them but there's a reason some of our towns look like this
>>218770956Are you saying you are a good example? Punta Arenas would look like Shanghai if Allende still ruled Chile.
>>218771242many were probably destroyed during regular combat too doe
>>218770650A lot of this comes from urban planning which takes a long ass time to plan and even longer to implement.When you grow really fast you just go fuck it whatever. Basically spaghetti if you played Factorio.
>>218770650I don't like KoreansThey seem really psychotic and mentally crippledI think it's no coincidence the most unhinged self-cannibalising capitalistic society (run by cults) is South Korea and the most unhinged Stalinist relic regime-dynasty is North Koreathe aesthetics feel like uglier, off-brand Japan/Chinalanguage sounds unpleasant (although Thai is worse)Some of the the food is great, so there's that going for them
>>218770650This look like brazil
>>218770650aesthethics are irrelevant if everything works and you make good money
>>218772755third world mentality
>>218772755gypsy mentality
>>218772306I have very similar opinionsbut I still like some of their TV shows.
>>218770650That looks better than plenty of places in Japan and Taiwan is so much more thirdie coded that's a joke to suggest
>>218773914I didn't choose the worst place, that'd be too cherrypicky.
>>218770948>25 km/h speed limitvery strange here it has to end in a 0
>>218770650japan sk taiwan looks similar
>>218770650I've been there. Honestly never cared about how dirty some the streets were. I am there for the food, adventure, and cute girls
>>218776392how many girls have natural teeth over there?
>>218776392sovl as fuck
>>218770650>>218770719>>218770741This is because those countries used to be third world until the 80s-90s
>>218778634the term third world has lost all meaning
>>218770650This doesn't look dissimilar to Japan at all desu. The poor neighbourhoods in Osaka look worse.
