One of the benefits of money and fame is that it should help with depression and material conditions so you don’t find yourself sleeping in rat-infested trash.

??? I’ve been going there every few months for the last 2 years and haven’t gotten sick. I do know a couple foreigners who got sick, one from cross-contaminated pre-cut fruit, and one from some diner they were invited to party at. I did have mountainside-clearing farts when I went to Korea the first time tho.

people getting/skimming “gutter oil” out of trash cans and sewers to use for frying street food.

Oil does not grow in sewers and trash cans. Old oil can be stored in cans buried in the sidewalk or in bins behind the shop. That oil is recycled for industrial processes, though there was an issue where people were buying that refined oil to use in food like a decade ago.

There’s no reason to put oil in the old oil can and then take it out to reuse when you could just not take out the old oil.

The food safety isn’t great in asia as a whole, but the gutter oil thing is taken massively out of context.

That doesn’t apply for open models that you can run locally, like Deepseek.
