A Hundred Things

 

Downtown Gangneung

This shop in the Gangneung market area calls itself a department store, but Harrods it isn't. The Korean word for department store is literally 'store of a hundred products', so this store probably fits the description. According to the lettering on the window, this place carries pet supplies, books, car accessories, clothes, electronics, electrical supplies, and (jewellery) accessories. It has everything but a proper bike rack.

    I like the 'store of a hundred products' name - there's something rather nice & honest about it. Department Store is quite dull by comparison.

    The window-dresser needs a serious kick up the proverbial, though - that window is hardly likely to entice people in off the street :)

    I like the shot. The bicycle owner is obviously not too proud of his bike, from the way it's wedged in there. Probably the best sort of bike to have downtown, though.

      Thanks. I suspect the owner has so many regular customers that he/she doesn't need to invest in making the place look nice.
