Overview

Overnight rain clears air pollution, leaving a clear, sunny, and very windy day featuring blue skies, cherry blossoms, and intense conditions that raise concerns about sunburn and make being outdoors unpleasant.

During a train ride, an unlicensed vendor attempts to sell goods before rapidly exiting as train police approach.

Daniel visits Hongdae, samples sun cream at a shop, observes street items, and finds the district dirty, crowded, noisy with car traffic and dubstep music, and exhausting.

Daniel eats lunch featuring tonkatsu, rice, soup, cabbage, and kimchi while avoiding a large prawn because its head and legs remain attached, and later returns to the apartment expressing a strong dislike for Hongdae and a preference for quieter settings with sleeping pets.
