What common American bathroom item in America does Daniel now consider a luxury? Learn about Koreans’ love for color coding, why Koreans are finally coming around to dryers, and what Busan drivers are famous for.If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more!
