Packaging in Korea.

This little container I received during the Buddah's birthday celebration as a give-a-way.
To go coffee packages like this is huge over here. 
his coffee I received for free at a convenience store. I was buying a snack and then the old Korean cashier was pointing to a cardboard box. I didn't know what he wanted me to do, but I look in the box saw these and he said, "for you." What he gave me was not coffee, but liquid cocaine.

These are very thin, salted crackers. I like the vintage feel of the packaging.

Bean filled goodness. Among the foreigners, we are not surprised by beans being in the center of anything. You have to be careful buying bread, doughnuts, whatever. Bean could be in the center like this snack. However, I like it, but a lot of foreigners are anti-bean.

This is my dish soap. It is "green" and made out of sugar. It doesn't really clean that well.
One of my gifts from my Korean friend, Guard, anti-bacterial hand soap.
This brand is huge and consists of American style desserts. Their packaging has a modern, vintage American theme. 




If you buy a birthday cake, you will get a knife, candles and a package of matches like below. So convenient.

This is another huge snack brand, but it is suppose to  be more healthy.


My Korean friend, Jinok, gave me this tin of pads as a gift. Random, but nice of her.


Delicious.
Dried seaweed. My Korean addiction. I need to find this back at home.

Shrimp flavored  rice cakes. They are delicious and I am sad because I know I won't be able to find these back in the US.
My shower soap that does not smell like lavender or anything.



The to go Starbuck's things at the convient store are a lot cheaper here then in the US, but going to Starbuck's is so much more expensive then the US. The whole straw thing is in genius. You punch it through a stronger plastic, so the straw stays in place.
You can't find sweet tea like Snapple or Arizona. All bottled teas have little to no taste. 
Green tea.
This liquid yogurt stuff is huge over here, too. We give it to the kids a lot for snacks. I refuse to try it. It's a texture thing.
