A week on KFC - day 2

Hello and welcome back to day 2 on KFC.

I think it's still snowing. It was snowing

for hours, but it all melted. Looks pretty

cool. It's strange because yesterday was

raining and it was kind of warm,

and then today it was snowing since the

morning. So we have from yesterday's KFC

shopping I've got 2 Zinger burgers.

So this will be lunch and then this will

be dinner. And I've got some mayonnaise.

I think I have some chips left over, but I

put them into the bin because I actually

met this Korean girl yesterday. And, you

know, I did a bit of tidying up just in

case, just in case she might have been

interested in coming up to my Airbnb. But

she didn't and we just said goodbye. So I

have some chips somewhere.

Yeah, I don't think I want to eat the

chips that I threw away into the plastic

bag. Um, what else do I have? I think

that's it. I don't know if 2 Zinger

burgers will be enough to keep me full for

the entire day. Okay, I have a bit of an

admission. I already failed the KFC

only eating KFC for a week because

yesterday I met this Korean girl and we

went to have lamb skewers. I'll tell you

about it in a minute after I've microwaved

Oh, it's cold.

I think 1 minute should be good.

1 minute. Okay, whilst we're waiting for

the burger, I'll tell you what happened

yesterday. So I met this girl, this Korean

girl, on this dating app. Maybe I'll move

away from the noisy microwave. I met this

girl on this dating app, not Tinder,

about a week ago. We've been chatting.

Turns out she lives literally 2 minutes

in some direction. She's so close to me,

you could probably see her building from

my window. And she just randomly messaged

me yesterday asking me if I wanted to go

for lunch, but I, I was too late checking

my messages and it was already dinner and

I already had the KFC. So then I asked her

if she would want to meet up tonight— not

tonight, but yesterday night after dinner.

So we met up around 10 PM And she asked

me if I wanted to go to this lamb skewer

place, and I said sure. The lamb place was

only about 6 minutes down the road,

somewhere that way.

It's still cold.

So we went to the lamb place, and it was

really nice. I really enjoyed her company.

She was so much nicer to talk to than the

other Korean girl that I met. The other

Korean girl that I met a few days before,

even though she was more feminine, she

had, you know, better fashion,

nice-looking hair— didn't really get to

see her face because she was wearing a

mask the whole time. Objectively speaking,

the first Korean girl was probably more

attractive, but I just felt so bored

talking to her. I don't know why I felt so

bored talking to her. She was a perfectly

nice person. But we just didn't click at

all. But then this Korean girl that I met

yesterday night, even though objectively

speaking she's probably not that great

looking, although I do find her smile very

nice to look at. Her smile is so similar

to the Taiwanese girl, uncanny,

almost the spitting image. When she

smiled, I was, I was instantly taken back

to 2016. When I was in love with that

Taiwanese girl. It was amazing. I couldn't

believe how similar she looked,

but I just really enjoyed talking to

her. It was really easy to talk to her as

well. She kept smiling and laughing,

which made me feel more confident. And

it's not like we had a deep conversation

about anything. We just went to the

restaurant, then we, you know, talked

about simple things.

Where's my tripod?

We just asked each other basic questions

like, what do you do? Do you like this?

Do you like that? And I guess it was

helpful she spoke in English. She taught

me some Korean. I pretended I didn't know

because I don't know, I don't like letting

people know that I can speak. Korean

because then they might start talking to

me in Korean and it's

just a bit of a pain. I like pretending I

don't speak it and then they can teach me,

but then I have to pretend that I don't

know the things they're teaching me. She

was like, beer is mekju, and I was like,

oh, okay.

It would just sound kind of rude if I just

said, yeah, I already know how to say

beer. I don't want to sound Like I'm stuck

up when it comes to language. Well, that

piece of chicken was very spicy. And then

we went to this lamb place. It was really

They had this contraption on the table.

You press the on button and then it slides

left to right, left to right, and it's

over charcoal. And then you place the lamb

skewers onto the slots, and then it slowly

rotates all the lamb skewers. It's really

clever. Never seen anything like that

before. And then after we finished dinner,

uh, we had a beer, and then we walked

around. And it was around midnight,

really dark. It was raining, no people

around. She took me to this big park, and

we walked around in the park for a bit,

and it was kind of romantic. She even let

me have a puff on her cigarette. It's all

soggy. Where's my knife?

And she took me past her building. I

didn't go into her house, but she just

said, this is my house. And then she

walked me back home to my Airbnb. And

yeah, I was kind of tempted to ask her if

she wanted to come up and have a coffee,

but she's a Christian. She told me she's

going to church today. Today's Sunday.

And I thought to myself, I don't think a

Christian girl would be up for you know

what on the first meeting. Aren't

Christians really strict about that stuff?

You know, they, they only have you know

what after they get married. So I

didn't want to embarrass myself. I don't

know, she smokes, which kind of gives me

this bad girl impression, but then she's a

Christian and goes to church, which gives

me this impression that she's not that

kind of girl. Plus, it would be nice to

have a friend who lives nearby. We can do

stuff. And if I invited her up, it would

have been really weird, and then maybe she

would have thought I was a creep.

I don't know if I feel attracted to her.

She's okay looking, I guess,

but I didn't feel— well, her smile was

attractive because it reminded me of the

Taiwanese girl.

And I was feeling kind of depressed

because I haven't met anyone since the

first Korean girl.

But after I met— after

I met the second Korean girl, I felt

great. It's amazing how just meeting

people And talking to people can make you

feel so much better when you're feeling

down. And today I woke up, I felt great.

It's funny how dependent people are. On

social interaction to make them feel not

depressed.

I keep trying to tell myself, oh, I don't

need people, I'm happier by myself,

but every time I come back from meeting

someone, I usually feel much better.

Mm, this is a good burger.

You know what this reminds me of?

Reminds me of those chicken burgers they

used to sell at my school in Swadlins.

Swadlins Secondary,

my prison for 5 years.

I used to sit alone eating lunch in the

cafeteria and the teachers would come up

to me, say, Daniel, are you okay?

As if, if, as if there was something wrong

with me. I was just sitting there by

myself. It's like they really pitied me or

I probably look really miserable all the

The Korean girl said we can go out for

dinner again. Hopefully I can film some of

it since I know everyone loves the I

went out on a date with a girl type of

I'm not sure about the KFC challenge

though, because if I go out eating, then

it's gonna make me fail the challenge

Maybe I'll just do a few days and then

have some secret food that I won't tell

And I've been looking at Airbnbs. I found

a pretty good Airbnb. Well, it's not good,

it's cheap.

I found some really cheap Airbnbs for

about $500 a month, $500,

and it's okay. It's just, you know, a

small room and you get the bed, kitchen,

and everything.

The current Airbnb I'm in now costs $280

a week, so that'd be well over $1,000 if I

stayed for a month. It's too much.

If I can stay in an Airbnb that's only

$500 a month and then cut my food costs to

about $150 a month, then my living cost is

only going to be about $600 or $700.

That's crazy.

Which gives me a lot of disposable income

for, um, you know what.

I don't think I need a really big place

Also, having a crappy place might

encourage me to go outside more. Because

if you have a nice place, you just end up

wanting to stay inside all day.

Oh no, I dropped my lettuce.

I need to get some fruit. All of this

chicken and meat stuff, it's not good

enough. I need some vitamins. I might buy

some fruit. Hey, I could buy

fruit today. That could be my mission.

I might give up on the whole supermarket

cooking idea because it's not really that

much cheaper to cook your own food here.

Getting this KFC meal was actually the

same price as getting my own ingredients

People say it's unhealthy, but at the end

of the day, it's just— look, it's just

chicken and tomato, lettuce and bread.

It's pretty normal food,

isn't it?

At least I got some vegetables.

One more bite and then we're done.

The cheapest Airbnb I found was a bunk

bed dormitory for about $200 a month. Can

you believe that? $200?

I make $200 from one video sometimes.

Well, that's meal number 1.

Meal number 2 for dinner would be Zinger

Burger again.

Oh, I feel sick. Is it still snowing?
