I just wanna know if you know of any place or store that I'd definitely be able to find marbles (glass spheres). [Korean stores are always unpredictable in their stock of merchandise].

I'd prefer not traveling to a special market in Seoul to get them, so do you think LotteMart would carry them?

I've seen them in a lot of stationery stores and little marts - you really shouldn't have any problem. I was surprised how available they are - they've just all but disappeared in the U.S.

yeah, maybe in Lotte Mart in the grocery section and then look for toys and stationery.

Ask for 마블(marble) in stationary shops(문방구). However, wife says you won't be able to find them there and that you should try at either E-mart or Homeplus in the toy section or maybe at a bigger bookstore.

Funny you should ask, just ths week this video came across my desk, or at least my monitor:

"One of the funniest Hale & Pace sketches of all time. Hale plays an art class model who has a problem with some marbles."

Safe to assume that you won't be using them in a similar way? Smile
