I just walked home from work through the thickest fog I've ever encountered outside of a rural highway at three in the morning. I literally could not see the building across the street from me. Car headlights suddenly appeared seemingly from nowhere twenty metres away. Only a few seconds later could you see the rest of them. It was like going to Laser Quest when the fog machine off switch is broken. And yet the crazy Korean drivers continued along at speed, occasional delivery scooters zooming at you from the shadows, half-invisible and ready to deal accidental death. There is absolutely zero visibility from my fourteenth-floor window.

What a country.
