Seoul
South Korea
The convenience stores never close and neither does the city. At 2am in Hongdae, university students eat tteokbokki from paper cups under neon signs while a busker covers a K-pop song badly and everyone sings along anyway. Seoul is 10 million people living at full speed, ancient palaces wedged between glass towers, street food alleys running under elevated highways, and a subway system that makes every other city's look embarrassing.
