Canada is Different from Korea

Well....duh! At lunch today found a few things that stood out, so thought I'd pass them on:

  1. There are hardly any Mexican food places in Korea (and the ones that are there are priced out of this world)...but there are tons here. Today I had a 'One Pound Beef Burrito' at Taco Time (let me tell you, it felt like a Two-Pounder).
  2. In Korea, bras and such are set out one on top of another and usually sold on the street or in marakets by little old ladies. In Canada, there are whole stores for them (La Senza is a biggie). Maniquins in the window model them and the salesgals are usually young girls.
  3. Korea has hundreds (literally) of kinds of ice cream; meanwhile, we tend to develop new chocolate/candy bars instead (I just had a Smarties bar).
That's it...
