I think part of the issue is that I live in the middle of nowhere, but my strong craving for Korean convenience stores is real. One-dollar gimbap. A single three-dollar can of Japanese beer. A decent two-dollar sandwich.
Maybe it's just knowing that they're there, 24 hours a day without fail.
Snacking just isn't the same in America.
My "if I became fabulously independently wealthy" fantasy 100% involves convincing gimbap cheunguk or the like to let someone set up a franchise store in Stockholm. I have a mighty need...!
