Quirky Korea
Yesterday Aaron went to the store to buy cereal. However, he did not come back with simply cereal--oh no, not in Korea. "Service" is everywhere. It's the belief that you should get more than what you desire. At a restaurant, it may be a free appetizer. At a clothing store, it could be a free headband or sometimes even some fish jerky. This time, it was a pair of silky, comfy socks attached to the cereal box. Aaron was kind enough to choose the last box with the socks as he knew I would enjoy them more then the cereal bowls and shovels attached to the other boxes. It certainly makes shopping a bit more exciting when you get to the checkout!
