Accessibility in Korea is on a whole other level. Every corner you walk there are 24 hour convenience stores stocked up with pre-made meals, alcohol, and daily essentials. Additionally, if you didn't feel like walking a little bit to the nearest convenience store, the food delivery services will find you wherever you are. If you are walking by the Han River and start to feel hungry, you can order any food you want with an app and the delivery guy will find you. Whether it is fried chicken or just ramen, delivery will come to you and you don't have to pay tip! Korea also has an extensive subway system set up so you can virtually go anywhere you want. All of the lines are also government owned, so you only need to have one card to pay for the ride.

It's very interesting how convenient some things are in Korea compared to the US. Whether it is food deliver or transportation, they really do well in terms of efficiency. I hope those services too would be available in the future in the US as well.
