Overview
Daniel observes packaging stickers covering references to vitamin and iron fortification before taking the underground subway on a cold, cloudy day to Seoul's Han River park.
At the park, Daniel encounters camping tents, street food vendors, pervasive selfie stick usage, and heavy haze from air pollution obscuring distant mountains, and visits a convenience shop where the cashier remains on the phone.
Daniel waits roughly two hours at CNN Cafe drinking grapefruit juice and watching the news before joining spectators on the bridge to watch the twenty-minute Moonlight Rainbow Fountain show and returning home.
