Scapes with apartment buildings

September 8th, 2006
City of Ilsan, South Korea.

Ilsan is a suburban city just north of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea.
My big sister lives and teaches Japanese there now and I got to visit her for a week. It's a lot quieter neighborhood than Seoul and yet quite convenient and clean residential area for the commuters.
One of the most interesting things I found in Korea is the huge apartment buildings that tower high above everything everywhere. They all pretty much look the same. Very tall and they are almost always built in groups. I even saw several groups of apartment building in the middle of a golden rice field, in front of big blue mountains. They are everywhere, and they are building more.
