The Sunbelt Sisters recap their journey across South Korea and China, reflecting on the everyday systems and environments that shaped their experience. From navigating Seoul’s fast, intuitive transit network to standing at the edge of the North Korean border, they explore how infrastructure, geography, and history intersect in ways that feel both ordinary and surreal. In China, they confront the realities of pollution—watching air‑quality levels shift day by day—and consider how millions of people adapt to environmental conditions that fluctuate constantly.
