The Honor System!

I was shopping with Jess at this store in Gukje market and noticed this hanging basket and asked what it was for. The girl in this picture worked there and spoke perfect english. Her response was, "It's for people to put their money in when they want to buy something. It's kind of like an honor system."
How ridiculous is that?!!! I love how trustworthy Koreans are! It's incredibly refreshing!

Charge it to my subway card please!

Yesterday, I was waiting for the subway, and noticed a korean girl buying a drink with her subway card at this machine!  

I couldn't believe it!  I had to try it for myself!  Sure enough, I just held my subway key charm up to this little box, chose my drink, and wala, 1 diet coke fell! 

I love the level of technology and resourcefulness in this country!
