Inside a Korean pharmacy...video
Upon my arrival at the eye clinic, I waited five minutes and immediately was whisked into the doctor's office. I had my eyes checked, eye pressure examined, and an eye exam (my vision is almost perfect, for those who want to know). All this in a span of ten minutes! I was instructed to finish off some existing drops and I received a prescription for another set of drops as well.
This is the part that I love the best--the experience of a Korean pharmacy. Your prescription is filled at lightning speed and it's dirt cheap. Once again, it only cost me 1500w ($1.50US) for my prescription and it was filled within minutes. Another bonus, free yogurt drinks! They are on the counter and free to customers--sweet!
Here are the free yogurt drinks--this is the reason why I keep going to the doctor...to get my yogurt drink fix:
Here's an exclusive video of your typical Korean pharmacy. I was accompanied by one of the Korean staff from work to do all the translation for me. Without her, it would've been one long game of charades to get things done:

I'm getting some interesting errors when trying to access your blog from your profile, after clicking through from my blog.
I'll report it to blogger and let you know.
I want to hear Devante's voice! We all love our daily dose of Gary, but Devante would be a real treat. Anyone second my request?
What do those yogurt drinks taste like?
hi!
just wondered if you ever tried the chinese style herbal medicine that they have over in korea?
usually they boil the herbs for you at some place then place the liquid in handy one-serving-size sachets and give the patient 3 sachets a day for about a month.
i only had a few sachets of the stuff from a friend but i didn't half get a boost off it in the mornings!
i heard it's expensive though....
Chris.
Eva: haha, I'll let her know. Maybe she'll make a special appearance in the future.
Mark: those yogurt drinks taste a little on the tart side, with a watered down yogurt taste. It's hard to explain, but I love them.
Chris: I haven't tried that yet in Korea, but I have tried many Chinese herbal soups back home.
