Overview
Daniel travels two hours by train to Incheon's Chinatown while playing Soulcalibur, observes local crowds, paper lanterns, and statues such as General MacArthur and zodiac figures, and contrasts the area's large size with London's Chinatown.
Ignored by Daniel after they note his foreign status, a group of Korean-speaking girls asks for a photo during his visit.
Due to long queues outside Chinese restaurants, Daniel visits a floor-seating pizza and pasta venue where he receives a topping-less plain pizza, rice, vegetable soup, and spicy octopus, resulting in strong dissatisfaction with the meal and noisy environment.
Exhausted by the crowds and repetitive sights, Daniel returns home by train, with transit announcements noting a stop approaching Hongik University station.
