I'm taking Korean lessons from a private teacher and bought the textbook I'll be using next in Korea. Korean bookstores have cute displays like the one in the first photo, and sell miscellaneous goods such as stationery, hair clips, and headbands. They also sell Japanese manga, so it's interesting to compare it with the Japanese version. I bought the Korean version of The Apothecary Diaries. I know the story, so it was interesting to see how things are expressed in Korean. ↑I'm saying things like I understand, but I'm just looking and enjoying it lol I went to Kyobo Bookstore, which has several branches in Seoul. I recommend strolling around the bookstore! #KoreaTrip #KyoboBookstore #SeoulTrip #교보문고광화문점 #Spring0YenTrip
