On this particular day, Jessica and I were taking the long scenic route to Homeplus for groceries. We noticed an unusual sound, at least unusual for Yeongju, and most likely Korea in general, coming from a convenience store. I looked in the window and saw this man, probably the proprietor, sitting in between the beer cooler and racks of dried squid. Right in the middle of the store. We walked in to watch and listen. His demeanor told me he was a very kind man, happy that we had stopped by. Jessica did her best to ask him if she could take his picture. He smiled and obliged. As he continued to play what sounded like an old Baptist hymn, we snapped a few photos, listened for a minute, thanked the nice man, and went on our way. I still wish that I had bought something...the squid didn't look that bad.
