Interesting Facts.....

 This is some interesting stuff I found out about South Korea... I'm kind of a nerd and I love learning worthless facts that I'll never need to know....
  • South Korea is roughly the size of Indiana with the population of California... about 48.6 million people. It has one of the world's highest popoulation densitites.  (Definitely too many people for how much land they have!!)
  • South Korea has the world's highest estimated national IQ.
     
  • The country stands as one of the most advanced countries of the world.
     
  • Its largest and capital city is Seoul, which is the world’s second-largest metropolitan city.
     
  • Technology giants like LG and Samsung are Korean. As are the car makers Hyundai and Kia. (Everything here is made by LG and everyone drives either a Hyundai or a Kia) 
  • South Korea's birthrate is the world's lowest.
     
  • Seoul has DMB. Which is Digital Multi-Media Broadcasting. So South Koreans can watch TV in the car, or on their mobile phone.. anywhere! (All Koreans watch TV while they drive.... usually our cab drivers are watching their game shows while they drive us!) 
  • At basically every Korean meal they serve Kimchi as a side dish.
