Apartment Forests

With the huge population and economic boom that has taken place in South Korea over the last 30 years, Koreans have flocked into the cities, abandoning the generations-old family houses and farms in favor of apartments.  With space at such a premium in this growing country– Korea is only slightly bigger than the American state of Indiana–, apartments are built in mass-produced high-rise apartment communities.  Each community is built with its own small park, market, elementary school and other neighborhood shops.  It is common that children will stay with their parents in their apartment until they get married and move into a new apartment with their spouse.  Almost every Korean that I know lives in an apartment.

Annie said that these apartment communities are known as Apartment Forests.  They look like it.

And they keep building more.
