I lived in Seoul 2012-2013. Generally I think this post is accurate. Here are some general observations from my time there: - there's a small but growing startup community growing there who were very welcoming to foreigners. - you only see web developers with macs. A basic 13" MacBook can cost close to $1800 there. - already in 2013 there's was a huge surge of people with these larger phones in Korea. - trends travel very fast in Seoul. riding the subway, you'd see a smartphone game become popular and die out over a 2 week period. - mass transit is very efficient. Last night I heard Gavin newsome claim that the Bay Area has one of the best mass transit systems in the world. All I could do was laugh.
