Korea is very advanced country and colorful. I stayed in Seoul and Suwon. Suwon belongs to Gyeonggi-do province. Korea is divided based on Regions and administrative divisions. This categorization of whole South Korea lead to 16 in number. In this Seoul is consider as the city and is capitol of South Korea.
While in Korea some of the words that you could remember to speak to Korean is listed below. This helps in starting conversation. Most of Korean do not speak English.
