In 2008, I live the biggest city in New Zealand. It is Auckland that I was in for a year to learn English. It was unforgettable memory to me until now. However, in recent I move my home alone to Seoul which is nearby school. It is good to go famous places in Seoul. Both of places are the most famous and largest cities in each country, but there are quite different things between Seoul and Auckland that I experienced.
In Seoul, there are four seasons which make beautiful scenery of nature, but in summer it is extremely hot and humid mixed with rain. It makes people unhappy and stressful. And in winter, it is freezing with snow. On the other hand, weather is very changeable in Auckland. For example, sometimes in the morning it is strongly rainy, but during a day is sunny with rainbow. After sunset, it is cold. Therefore people say that one day has four seasons in New Zealand. I used to bring outer because of the changeable weather.
Moreover, two cities have different scenery. Seoul, it is one of the highest population cities in the world, so there are great deals of people, cars and high scraper buildings. It is pretty modern city which is developed fast. When I live in Seoul, everything is really convenient. In contrast, Auckland is low population city and there are few high buildings in the downtown. Instead of, there are fresh air, giant trees and wide green field with volcano. It is typical landscape which I felt I was in an Alice in Wonderland. That is why Peter Jackson made the film ‘Load of the ring’ in New Zealand.
In life style, people work hard for over than 8 hours a day for job in Seoul. Therefore, they are very stressful and drink too much alcohol at the night. Many people do not have their hobbies and go to the cinema or go shopping to spend weekends. I think working too many hours may make them fast to do other things. On the other hand, Kiwis (who live in NZ) work for about 6 hours a day, so they have plenty of time to do what they want. When I live there I was surprised, because many Kiwis have another job such as artiest and can play a musical instrument.
So far, I never forget the memory of living in New Zealand and I am also satisfied with life in Seoul. Both of cities are attractive to me, Seoul is beautiful and modern city which is convenient to live. And in Auckland, there are unique view and peaceful life style which people love to there.
