· Tried live octopus at Gwangjang Market—the tentacles were still moving! Swallowed it with my eyes closed, then high-fived an excited Korean ahjussi.
· Tried on twenty sweaters in a Hongdae shop. The staff said I looked like a K-drama lead (my wallet cried).
· Counted city lights from a rooftop in Itaewon at midnight—the breeze carried the scent of coffee and soju.
· Realized Koreans might have iced Americano in their veins—there’s a café every few steps!
