Seoul Trip: Korean Conbini 『Convenience Store』


Ah, convenience stores. A beacon of civilization and comfort in an often dark and confusing world. 

In my travels, the conbini are often a thing of wonder. For example, in Japan you can pay all your utility bills, send mail, pick up a bottle of whiskey (or soju, or sake), some spaghetti (or ramen, udon, bento boxes, onigiri, sandwiches, etc), some freshly brewed iced coffee or kitchen staples (mirin and dashi, anyone?) to pantyhose or make up to porn and ice cream...

Well, I'm pleased to say that they're pretty amazing in Korea, too!
