Modern Tradition

Just outside our hotel, there was a Starbucks outlet that Mark and I had to try. While we’ve been in different Starbucks branches in Seoul, this was different.

First, the facade was based on a traditional Korean house. Second, there was a seating area where you’d have to sit the traditional way: sitting on the floor sans shoes. And that’s what we did.

It’s nice when modern places give a nod to ancient traditions.
