Picture of the day - 진


Keep in mind that 1,000 원 is less than a dollar Canadian, which means the two-six of gin in the middle is CAD $6.63.

Scarier (or more exciting?) picture after the jump...


This is 소주 (soju), which is to Koreans what vodka is to the Russians. Yep, that's a 3.6 l bottle for slightly more than 8,000 won (CAD $7.22).

The kicker? These photos were taken at my local supermarket.

  1. So how much is a really good bottle of single malt scotch?

  2. Probably just as much (if not more) as in Canada, unfortunately. The name-brand alcohol costs just as much as at home, it's just that they have incredibly cheap (and probably terrible) ripoffs.

  3. Like I said ... what good's a bottle of gin without a backyard!
