[2020-02-03] My first day in KOREA [tN7HR6SF0b4]

Daniel checked out of a hotel room by leaving the key behind to avoid speaking at reception, traveled to South Korea, and checked into an Airbnb near Seoul Station that included heated floorboards, a loft, a kitchen, and two beds.

Daniel reflected on feeling somewhat depressed after arriving in South Korea, expressed disappointment with the neighborhood around Seoul Station due to its run-down condition, homeless individuals, and street clutter, and compared it to an area in Osaka.

While shopping on limited cash, Daniel spent 21,131 won on groceries exceeding the intended budget—purchasing items such as discounted Australian beef, potatoes, carrots, sausages, bread, Cornflake bars, and Maxim coffee sticks—and subsequently cooked two servings of beef, potato, and carrot soup for dinner.
