Hot Tracks in Kyobo bookstore
Kyobo bookstore is the largest book shop branch in Korea. It takes up the entire floor of a building with plenty of books. This time, I’d like to show a stationary store named ‘Hot tracks’ placed in the Gangnam branch of Kyobo bookstore.
Hot tracks has a lot of stationery products like pens, notebooks, diaries and postcards, etc. There are so many more things you couldn’t imagine, like so many types of ‘Post it’ note for various uses (calendar type or timetable sticker or memo note used for keyboard pad). At the end of the year, you will find how much challenging it is to pick only one planner for the New year out of tons of pretty planners.
Are you a stationery addict?
I’d love to go shopping in stationery stores especially when I got stressed out. Buying lovely cute stationery meets my shopping needs or even just looking around fancy items calms me down.
Kyobo books store is a must visit place not only for book-worms, but also for stationary lovers. The white paper is down in the pen section that you could try pens before you buy. You can test its point sizes, ink types and colors to look for your best pen. If some designed note books seem to have a bit high price, you could find good one having reasonable price by looking around the next section.
The only difficulty is to find them
The branches of Kyobo bookstore are placed in central locations in Seoul but sometimes it is not easy for you to catch them while walking in the street. The bookstores don’t have enough signs from the outside and most of them are placed in the basement of common office buildings. It’d better to make it clear to find where it is before you visit.
