So I'm working in Korea at the moment. I've been here for a little over two months and have about two months left before I go back to Canada. During one of my commutes to work by train, I noticed a rather fascinating 
sign that I thought some of you Niners might get a kick out of:
How about that? Garak has gone from simply owning a small tailor shop to having a whole market named after him.
That was my first thought when seeing this. Notice how all the other names on that sign are clearly unique Korean words. As if simply being English didn't make it stand out enough, the second location on the sign is seemingly named after a DS9 character! 
If I didn't know better, I'd think some Niner bought a market here and named it after their favourite DS9 Cardassian.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but I can't help but wonder what the hell "Garak" means in this context. Never heard of the name anywhere else except in Star Trek. There's also a huge highway/freeway-type sign that says "Garak" on it! I've passed it several times while on the highway, but because I was in a moving bus, couldn't snap a picture. 
Neat find, eh?
