Which shop would you run at an old Korean market?
Spend one market day behind the counter. Make nine picks and see which of eight shops fits you.
The setting: In Joseon-era Korea (1392 to 1897), many country towns held a market every five days. Farmers, smiths and peddlers set up side by side from first light.
Just for fun. This isn't a scientific or psychological test, so don't use it to judge anyone.
