Buy the Way





After a big meal with Brett and Laura on Saturday night, we decided to go out for drinks. It's that hot and humid time of year in Korea when all the convenient stores set plastic chairs and tables outside their shop. Coming from Canada, I sometimes forget how accessible alcohol is in other countries. We just bought a few large "Prime" beers and a bottle of Korean rice wine from the store, sat, shared stories and enjoyed the night life. And even though I've lived here for 10 months now, I still was shocked as we watched the high school aged kids come out of their private school classes at 11:00pm on a Saturday night.
