'Bonjour' in the ice cream shop #LinguisticLandscape of Seoul, courtesy of Baskin Robbins, with some interesting French background art, all related to this special Golden Praline Butter ice cream. I wonder how widely known 'Bonjour' is in Korea? Pretty widely known, I'd guess.

Always been quite satisfying to create and go over material like this, for me.
