Deajeon & Brisbane

Deajeon is located in the middle of South Korea. I have lived there since I was born. I spent almost all time in my life in there before I came here, Brisbane.

There are a few similarities between Deajeon and Brisbane. Both are one of the big cities in each country and are modernised but there are more differences than similarities.

Compared with Brisbane, Deajeon is much smaller, but more crowded. It means there aren't many places to live, do something in their spare times. Because of this, Deajeon has many tall buildings to live and work in. Deajeon is always busy and in a hurry. However, Brisbane is much more slower than Deajeon, for example, it takes more time to build a house, install the internet and so on, so people look like more relaxed, comfortable and easy-going. In addition, there are many people from other countries in Brisbane(like me), although in Deajeon only a few persons who from other countries live there. It's hard to see foreigners in there, if I don't go to some particular area where they get togher. As a result, Brisbane is a lot more multicultural than Deajeon.

Another difference is the order of seasons. When Deajeon is in winter, Brisbane is in summer like that and in Brisbane, the sun is much stronger than in Deajeon. It is essential to put sunscreen everyday in Brisbane and people usually wear sunglasses while they are walking on the street. However, it is a special thing to wear sunglasses in Deajeon. People usually wear it only at the beach or some particular occasions.

Mostly, the transport systems of both cities are similar. Nevertheless, in Brisbane they use a ferry as a means of transportation but not in Deajeon. Also in Deajeon they take a subway but not in Brisbane.

So, there are many differences between Deajeon and Brisbane. If we pay more attention to these, we can find more things like that.
