Seoul 2

Here are

some impressions of this huge city: 28 million inhabitants, pulsating, huge, great. The real city centre comprises 605 km2, more than twice as the Canton of Geneva easi-computer.fr and to 17’100 inhabitants per km2 – Basel city has 5000. To get from the hotel in business district south of the Han River into the real city centre you need with the Metro about an hour, 50 minutes by taxi. Contrasts in a small space are typical. Here are a few pictures, even from the IUFRO World Congress.

Here still some details to the Congress:  have participated 2675 representatives from 92 countries, of which, however, 878 from Korea, 272 from Japan, 214 from China, 164 from the USA and 99 from Indonesia. There were 170 sessions, 916 lectures, it took 96 buses for the in-Congress-Tour and it has been raining in Seoul Monday to Friday, 183.5 mm (Source: The Congress Daily, Saturday August 28, 2010).
