There ARE thrift shops in Korea!

Posted by Hanguk Habibi at 11:26 PM

After 6 years, I've finally discovered that thrift stores are in fact alive and well in Korea. Back home we refer to them as Vinnies, after the charity group which run them (The St Vincent de Paul Society). Well, the chain here isn't run by Vinnies, but the Salvos instead.
