Asian city planning is peculiarity nonuniform. Taipei is not as extreme as Beijing, but almost next to modern shiny Taipei 101 there is a neighborhood full of the crappy 70s era concrete monstrosities.

Poland is similar, but not as extreme. I recently took an interest (still largely unexplored) in old South Korean movies. Seoul 50 years ago looked about the same as many Polish cities today.

I was actually in Korea about a month ago, though not in Seoul. Looked very clean and high tech. Taiwanese are however much nicer, well-behaved and more sober when walking down the street.

Yeah, I'm more familiar with Korean culture than I'd like to be. There are many good sides to it, too, but oh boy...
