Gangnam Kyobo Book Store

2 June,2010

So, I found The  Little Prince in Seoul finally.In Kyobo book store,Gangnam.A whole Little Prince stationery range plus a Little Prince cushion/pillow.I clicked a few pictures.

Kyobo Tower has been designed by World Famous Swiss Architect – Mario Botta.The sculpture outside the Kyobo tower is famous for quite a number of reasons.If you care about sculpture and art, read about Kyobo Tower’s sculpture  here and here .But foolish I am,I got a few pics deleted.Here are the rest of the pics.

Directions to reach Gangnam Kyobo Tower: Exit 6 from Gangnam Station(on subway line 3) and 500 m of walking will take you to Kyobo Tower.Kyobo World  is in the basement of the tower where book lovers keep it flocked.

Talking about the stationery,characters as Alice (Alice in Wonderland),Simpsons,Kitty,Mickey Mouse,Little Prince are quite popular in S.Korea.So there is whole stationery ranges /mobile covers/T shirts/slippers :| /earphones/wallets with these characters all around us.Infact mickey and kitty are quite  popular as wardrobe accessories too.Its like a childhood love prolonged for the whole Korean fraternity.
