honey-spice

Krakow's old town has about five million (give or take) adorable shops and galleries geared to tourists. For example:


This shop had a couple dozen giant glass vats of booze with all different flavors; you taste them, choose a bottle (from a cute selection), and get it filled. This was very cool. It would have surprised me even more if I hadn't been in a shop that worked on exactly the same principle 10 years ago in Nice. Apparently this is the kind of shop you put in heavily-touristed old towns. Anyway, lemme tell you, the honey-spice vodka is deeeeelicious.

Have you ever seen one of these shops? Are they everywhere? We don't have them in the U.S., do we?

I'm not familiar with the concept, and don't recall seeing it in Germany when I was there this fall.

But then again maybe I didn't go to the high-tourist-ratio places when I was there and I just missed it.
