Day 72: Books and Life Insurance

In keeping with the tradition of large Korean companies diversifying into random business areas, Kyobo is one of those companies that will not only insure your life, but sell you a book that prepares you for one of the 534 English tests that's out there, an SAT prep book, a book about Bali, a map of Russia, a planner with scary cats on it, and the latest Taeyang CD. Guys and Dolls, Kyobo is quite the busy company! Underground, connected to the downtown subway system, exists one of the largest bookstores in Korea. I'm tellin' ya, this thing is huge. It has one of the largest foreign books section in Korea as well, both English and Japanese. In addition, it has a pretty decent CD store (Hot Tracks) and a range of stationary, electronics, toys, journals, pens, stamps, etc. Needless to say, it's a good thing.
