Overview
Daniel shopped for groceries and cooking supplies, reviewed receipts from a local market and a CU store, and settled into a South Korea Airbnb while managing food waste and testing convenience store microwave pizza.
Daniel navigated romantic disappointments, including sending unanswered follow-up messages on dating apps and abandoning a video concept centered on an alternate Tinder profile.
An infectious virus outbreak centered in a southern Korean city prompted advice to leave the country, led to the cancellation of weekend dates, and caused worry following a visit from someone with cold symptoms.
Daniel passed time watching Star Trek: The Next Generation while reflecting on the overpowered character Q, original cast mortality, living without human companionship in Korea, and the low probability of finding a partner before departing.
