South Korea Runs on Dunkin'

I found a local Dunkin' Donuts yesterday and decided to try a cup of American coffee, but instead I ended up with a uniquely Korean experience. Along with coffee, a wide array of lattes, and the name defining donuts, Korean Dunkins' serve a wide variety of fine cakes and pastries that at the very least look freshly prepared and quite beautiful. 

I decided on a donut in the end though, or, more precisely, a Honey Glutinous Rice Stick (which was actually rather tasty if you like sticky rice cakes), and a 12 Grain Latte (an experience which will never be repeated). It was a difficult choice considering my options: Mango Chewistas, Coconut Cocoa Donuts, Honey Fig Sticks, and Green Tea Old Fashioneds. My stomach still hurts from the 12 Grain Latte, and I'm still trying to figure out what part of a donut made from green tea is old fashioned. Nonetheless, I feel the pressing need to go back and try the Chewistas.

But are they located on every corner like they are by me?

Thankfully, no. Maybe this means that in the future there are fewer Dunkins, but I'm doubting it.

Better Dunkins then Starbucks.

Sadly, Starbucks are everywhere too.

You know you've hit the big time when you get spammers.

Damn it. Now, I have to leave the spammer's comment in order to keep your comment relevant.

I'm OK looking foolish. Go ahead and delete. You can get rid of mine too if it makes it look neater.
