Big City Never Stops

POSTED: 1:36 pm CDT April 6, 2008

There's no question, New York City is a big place. But it has nothing on Seoul, South Korea when it comes to size and population.

More than 20 million people live in Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area.

The streets and shops are always packed. Right now, it's 8:30pm Sunday evening. The halls and corridors of the Lotte Department store are still wall to wall with people. I'm floored. New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta never see this much action on a Sunday night.

You would think it's the night before Christmas but it's not.
