Seoul-Coffee shops aplenty

One thing I noticed in Seoul is that it's never short of coffee shops. It seems wherever I go there is one just around the corner. And it isn't limited to Starbucks, but many other chain and independent shops big and small, all eager to sell you a cup of coffee, however you like it. But the king of it all has to be the Starbucks located at Myeongdong, a trendy shopping district; I've never seen one this huge--a 5-story building and every floor a Starbucks. I went in to borrow the restroom and had to walk 8 flights of stairs to the only men's room on the 4th floor. I purposely took a peek on every floor and it's packed, except for the 5th, which said employees-only. If you're addicted to coffee, you'll find caffeine-haven in Seoul.
