Quirky Korea part 2: Vending Machines

In Korea, vending machines are everywhere! They pop up more often than a Starbucks (and that's saying something). They're reasonably priced and beautifully designed. They display their products in a way that makes them look like works of art. Here's a few that I found...

This is your typical vending machine selling soft drinks. It sells a wide variety of products from chilled green teas, iced coffee, juices and fizzy drinks. The clean, white design with decorative touches is a lot more appealing than the brash Coca Cola branding we tend to get in the UK.




I found this one selling books at Busan station. The covers of the book open and close so you can have a peek inside.


This type of vending machine was often found at the entrance to a public loo. It sells all sorts of handy things from chewing gum, mouth wash, painkillers, wet wipes and feminine hygiene products. Everything you want in life at the touch of a button!
