THE SUBWAY CD SALESMAN


% of population: 0.7%
item for sale: "classic soft pop favourites"
demonstration track: abba - i have a dream

DESCRIPTION:
Anyone who takes the subway here in Seoul is bound to meet the subway CD salesman at some point in their travels. As innovativeness is an underdeveloped quality in many Koreans because of their adherance to their by-the-book approaches to learning, many Korean business people tend to copy each other's sales strategies. All subway CD salesmen are equipped with a stereo mounted on top of a rolling travel bag. They roll along from one subway car to the next as they make their sales presentation to the passengers.
