| Abstract: | In many parts of the world, convenience stores are the shops of last resort: cigarettes, sodas and laundry detergent. But in South Korea, you might find single malt whiskies, $800 (U.S.) French wines, 24K gold bars, shampoo and conditioner refill stations, televisions or a dine-in instant noodle bar with more than 200 varieties of ramyon (alias ramen). A customer might be able to pick up a package, wash and dry their clothes, or sign up for a new debit card. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
