If you visit Korea, you'll find many interesting things that will surprise you. In today's posting, we are not going to talk about big and expensive inventions, but small and creative items that are much helpful in life. Let's see what those items are!
1. Rain Bucket
Every rainy season, you'll see these blue buckets at the entrance of the subway. You can drain your umbrella on this bucket before going in. This can help save a lot of work from cleaning the dirty floors.
2. Umbrella Covers
Here's another item to help you in summer. On rainy days, you'll find this at the entrances of buildings. There are two types of bags for long and short umbrellas.
Thanks to these bags, the buildings can keep clean, and the customers also don't have to worry about their wet umbrellas.
3. Umbrella Wiper

Umbrella covers are made of plastic and are not environmentally friendly. To solve that problem, many places have replaced the cover dispenser with the wipers.
There is a fabric in the middle of the tray that will absorb the rainwater as you wipe in back and forth.
4. Cup Holder Tray
If you are shopping you'll find trays like this at the entrance of a clothing store. Some clothing stores stop customers from bringing in drinks or food because they can spill on clothes.
To meet both customer and the store's need, these holders are placed, so that you can leave the drink at the entrance and pick it up as you leave the shop.
5. Mask Strap
Wearing a mask has become a must, but it's hard to keep track of it every time you take it off. Use this strap, and you don't have to worry about losing your mask. It's especially helpful for kids.
6. Pole Chairs

Sometimes, waiting for a traffic light to change takes too long, especially for the elderly and children. The government has installed a lot of chairs next to the crossroads for people to sit while they wait.
7. Maternity Badge

Pregnant women should be well protected, and they have the priority seats in the Korean metro. However, in a crowded train, it's hard for a pregnant to identify themselves and take a seat.
With this badge, you can just claim your seat without asking.
8. Small Tongs
When you go to eat chicken, gamjatang, or anything you have to use your hand to eat, you might find a tong like this.
It's much more convenient than using a chopstick to eat chicken or ribs. Also, it can keep your hand clean from all the sauce.
