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?  |
