Did you ever go to a city that was very different than you imagined and surprised you positively? If yes which city was it and why did it surprise you?

Seoul. I was barely 18 and got stationed there. I was expecting grass huts and donkey carts based off MASH or other movies I’ve seen.

But I was legitimately shocked. Like you know in movies when someone goes through Tokyo for the first time and they are starting struck, that was me in Seoul.
