starbucks in korea

Ok, so I don't have enough time ORRRR battery left to write everything that happened yesterday on my first day exploring, but I thought I should write this little thing before leaving for lunch while I was thinking of it...


So yesterday, after dinner, a couple new friends and I were walking around in sinchon and stopped inside starbucks to sit down and so I could get my mug (I always collect mugs from starbucks of every country/state I am in...something I picked up from Mrs. Ann Lindemann ^^). So I got my mug...a travel one again like I did in China, only because it would be easier to pack and more practical use I guess. Too bad...I was really wanting a mug for my room too, but perhaps another time on my way out or something, but I WILL be living in a few places before I make it to my actual apartment, so it is better this way. Ok, so I bought this mug. Along with my receipt, I get a coupon for a free drink (at least this is what we could gather, being as though it was all written in Korean lol) Woo hoo!! Free coffee=AWESOME!!!


~~**YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN KOREA WHEN.......YOU WALK INTO A STARBUCKS AND IT IS THREE FLOORS HIGH AND PACKED WITH PEOPLE**~~


Oh, and I should also mention, before I left for Korea, I had to make sure that they actually drank coffee here or that it would be easy to get some coffee since being a coffee addict, I needed to be able to survive lol. I was told they had them all over the place. So here I am thinking they are like Walgreens in America~~"one on every corner"...meaning a lot of them all over the place. Yay! HA!! to my surprise and still complete shock, it is nothing like this. No, not that they are rare but that pretty much EVERY FEW STORES IS A COFFEE SHOP!! DAAAAAAANG!!!!


Needless to say, no worries on the coffee front, have my travel mug from Seoul, and have a free coffee drink awaiting me at my next stop by there! 


Stay tuned, though, for the best memory of the day! ^^
