from a couple weeks ago

a co-worker and i made a smallish trip into seoul for some shopping. myeong- dong first, a stop at my favorite super cute store- kosney. they have everything that i find irresistible and have no real need for. . . but i got some nice perfume, and a great birthday gift for a friend.

from there we walked over to insa-dong. it’s also a great place to go searching for some gifts. we were both successful in shopping for the gifts we had in mind, but we were sidetracked but something bright and colorful in an upstairs store window.

i’m paraphrasing a bit. . . but it went something like this. . .

erika- what’s that?

ryan- i’m not sure.

erika- is that a huge voltron in the window?

ryan- is it a store?

erika- i don’t know.

pause. . . . stare. . . .

erika- do you wanna?

ryan- yeah.

so we walked up stairs. . . .there was a cover charge. only a dollar. so we weren’t sure if it was a museum, or a store. . . . but i took some pictures. and i was able to actually buy some stickers. perhaps the ‘black hole’ of toys. (and by black hole i don’t mean the space anomaly, but the los alamos lab reseller/ junk yard/ auction.)

ps- the store was called TOTO. so there was that too.
