Day 56 - Will rocks ever die? Will shopping ever die?

I’m at one of the biggest shopping malls in Seoul, Korea. 

Almost every person is wearing a mask. 

All the stores are open and are welcoming customers. It’s just another day. Same as before the days of coronavirus.

Day 62 - Social-distancing? It’s social isolation.

I’m in the restaurant of a construction site in Korea. Thousands of workers dine here. The company added partitions to isolate and prevent workers from talking to each other/getting the virus. What an intense amusement.

Day 63 - Stay inside and avoid crowded places? It feels like people are shouting we’ve already done enough self-isolation.

I’m at Hangang Park in Seoul, Korea.

People are welcoming the spring. They enjoy the warm and bright sunlights with friends, lovers, families, and the MASKS.
