Buhay sa Korea

Convenience stores or 편의점 (pyeon-ee-jeom) are common sights in Korea. On our 800-meter long street alone, you could find a Mini Stop, 7-11, GS 25, and Family Mart. Not to mention the 슈퍼 (shu-pa or supermarket but are more like sari-sari stores) that can be found within 100 meters distance of each other. One particular store whose name is a “tourist attraction” is “Buy the Way”. In Tagalog, “bilhin ang daanan”.

I took this picture while we were in a queue for a parking space last Sunday afternoon at the Children’s Grand Park in Seoul. There were two police officers taking a break in front of the store so I tried to avoid them in the picture.
