Episode 62: Density of Water (Daily Life)

Korean. American. Podcast

This week Jun and Daniel dedicate another episode to run through Daniel’s constantly growing and evolving list of notes on daily life in Korea. Our hosts tackle a 짬뽕 (hodgepodge) of topics ranging from apartment community life to driving habits and hierarchy-based social expectations. What does Daniel find depressing about his apartment living situation? Which part of the metric system is Daniel getting used to, and which part can’t he really transition over? What are some eating hacks Daniel’s learned over the years that most Koreans have known their whole lives? Why does Daniel struggle with the air conditioning in his apartment?
If you're interested in these questions and more, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel shares his encounter with a surprisingly grumpy grandma (or “hal-meanie”), Jun goes off on the Imperial System, and both hosts celebrate some major milestones for the podcast.
