Surprise Suprise

Who would have thought that Korea would love coffee so much. Taking a walk down the street in Seoul you cant help but notice just how many coffee shops there are. Not only are there more coffee shops then I can count but there are so many different chains: Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Angel-In-Us Coffee, A twosome place, Dunkin Donuts, you name it its here and then there are a million other small non franchised coffee shops.

Well I was walking down the street and decided to stop in the Dunkin Donuts to sit down and read a little of my book and maybe grab a doughnut. Scanning through the doughnuts they have on display I see the usual glazed, blueberry, chocolate etc and then I noticed some local flavor: Garlic glazed. I had to try this. I took my garlic treat with me to the seating area and sat down. I take a bite of the doughnut and take my book out of my bag to begin reading. "Tastes like a regular glazed doughnut to me." While reading and continuing to chew and take bites the subtle aftertaste of garlic starts to kick in and it is quite a delight fighting the sweet sugary taste on my tongue.



Taking a look around and thinking about how everywhere you go in this city there are people out eating, socializing and just enjoying life, I am reassured that I will most definitely enjoy my time being here.
