You must have realized by now that you’re not going to get an answer here unless you start an argument.

I’d love to go to Seoul, but have not been there.

OK, I'll start an argument. Whenever I flew to East Asia or South Asia, I sometimes was on US, European, East Asian, or South Asian carriers. If you can, take the East Asian.

you to Mississauga.)

Seems each day, this young man 'cross-roads', to be honest, I am quite envious. Would love to do this: Two teenagers set off on a cycle trip around the world. It didn’t go according to plan

Ahh you got me! I couldn't decide between that and The Duquesne Incline/Funicular. But 2nd guess isn't the same! Good stuff...

Not quite.
Trams have two large passenger cabins that shuttle up and down on a fixed moving cable. When the cabin reaches the top, the cable direction is reversed for the descent. Funiculars use a fixed cable to pull a passenger railcar up and down.
