Seoul is a very popular megacities in Asia.

It is a region located in the north-west of South Korea. It is generally referred to as Sudogwon in Korean, and contains three different districts they are Seoul, Incheon and a large part of Gyeonggi-do.

The picture below shows Seoul Tower which is in Namsan Park.

"Covering only about 12% of the country's area, the Seoul metropolitan area is home to more than 48.2% of the national population, and is the world's 7th largest urban area. This percentage has risen steadily since the mid-20th century, and the trend is expected to continue. Currently more than half of the people who move from one region to another are moving to the capital area.By 2020, it is projected that more than 52% of South Korea's population will live within the area, or 25,520,450.8 people"

The cities of the capital area are tightly interconnected by road and rail.In addition, the needs for commuter rail are served by the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, which passes not only through Seoul and Incheon, but also through most of the outlying cities.

In addition, the region is a suitable for traveling by air and water. The country's two largest airports, Incheon International Airport and Gimpo Airport, are both located in the metropolitan area.

International and domestic ferries depart from Incheon's various ferry terminals several times a day; in addition, massive volumes of international freight pass through the container terminals of Incheon (primarily bound to and from China).

He was born on 20 July 1304

He spent his early childhood in the village of Incisa, near Florence,Italy

Petrarch was interested in writing and Latin literature.

Additionally from his bad history of life he became dislike for the legal system. He protested,

"I couldn't face making a merchandise of my mind", as he viewed the legal system as the art of selling justice.

The later part of Petrarch's life he spent in journeying through northern Italy as an international scholar and poet-diplomat.

Petrarch is best known for his Italian poetry.

Petrarch is traditionally called the father of Humanism and considered by many to be the

"father of the Renaissance." He was the first to offer a combination of abstract entities of classical culture and Christian philosophy.

Petrarch argued instead that God had given humans their intelligence and creative potential to be used to their fullest.

He inspired humanist philosophy which led to the intellectual of Renaissance.

He expressed in his writings were seized upon by Renaissance humanist philosophers and argued continually for the next 200 years!
