I think you’re right in that experiencing a place is more than just having a layover - though Incheon in Seoul seems a pretty solid representation of one element of their culture (e.g. an upscale mall that happens to have an airport 😏). But I haven’t scratched off South Korea or Japan nor a bunch if states on my map yet because passing through is not actually visiting: Get local foods, see people near their homes & at their jobs (or attending a comic convention 😀), feel the vibes, see at least one sunrise + sunset.

This is a really interesting question Jen. I need to ponder it some more. My first thought is that being physically present is important and then that I would lean more toward depth but I have definitely done breadth when I wanted to see as much as I could within a short time.
