Day 7: Globalization to the MAX!

So it's not the best picture, seeing as there is a huge glare in the window, but that's okay. Now I've seen some pretty awesome examples of globalization in my time here in Korea, from a Dunkin' Donuts 10 minutes away from my house to a Burger King in my hospital, but this, I think, takes the prize. Starbucks isn't that special anymore, and it is quite common to see this logo every-which-way you turn. But this particular Starbucks, my favorite Starbucks, takes that to a whole new level. This Starbucks is located in the lobby of the funeral parlor/ home that is attached to the hospital that I work at. "We are sorry for your loss, but nothing brings up your spirits like a Mocha Latte!" I expect this to be part of the deal: You book the funeral, the room, the hearst, and get a Starbucks voucher as our gift to you. At first I felt bad going to this Starbucks, because I only would come into the building to get coffee. But now I don't even care; it doesn't phase me one bit. Plus, one of my coffee boys work there, so really, when we get right down to it, there is no real battle between social norms/ funerals and coffee boy, because the coffee boy will always win out.
