Does anyone know the address/location of obscure magazine store in NY?
There's supposed to be a bookstand/magazine stand in Manhattan, NY (theater district) that sells all the magazines ever published in the US and more. Does anyone know where it is/ address/ name? I'd like to visit it. I heard it's supposedly down by 56th/59th, but I'm not sure.
How much the pens,use to ink manga,costs in the Philippines?
For outline, Artline tech pen will do. You might want to check one of the tech pens that have tilted points to give you that "caligraphy" look. The disposable Artline will cost about 60 pesos, while the refillable is about 300 pesos. For inking, try Kure Color. It's like a highlighter, but when you use it, you'll see the difference. They cost 110 pesos each. If you're going to do a gray scale drawing I suggest: For outlines: 0.8, 0.5, 0.2 and 0.1 For inking: Light Gray, Gray and Dark Gray They are all available in National Bookstore. Goodluck.
What are some fun things to do at Seoul as a tourist?
There’s so much to do in Seoul I don’t even know where to start but I recommend the following things to do:RENT A KOREAN HANBOK DRESSThis should be the first thing you do on your sightseeing day if you’re up for it! Hanbok dresses are incredibly beautiful and available for both guys and girls! What’s best about them is that besides taking incredible travel photos, you’ll also get free admission into palaces and temples! You can rent hanbok clothing for very cheap and you won’t feel weird either cause loads of locals and tourists are dressing up too!WANDER INSIDE GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACEThis is the main palace of Seoul and should definitely be up on your list. It also contains the National Folk Museum, which is awesome to browse. If you wear hanbok, you get free entrance into the palace and don’t need to line up!WALK AROUND BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGEThis lovely traditional village is situated next to Gyeongbokgung Palace and is a true gem. While it is quite touristy, you can also find lovely tea houses to relax here and dig into Korean culture.SPEND YOUR EVENING IN MYEONGDONGMyeongdong is Seoul’s major shopping district but also filled with delicious street food and good restaurants! Definitely a great place to check out, especially in the evening!GET GREAT VIEWS FROM SEOUL TOWER OR LOTTE WORLD TOWERWhile I like to recommend Seoul Tower as a great observation spot, I just recently visited the brand new Lotte World Tower, the largest building in South Korea. It opened early 2017 and has a 5-floor observation deck. It’s definitely worth checking out and the views are superb!CHECK OUT A THEMED CAFEThemed cafés are all the rage in Seoul. Whether it’s an animal café specializing in cats, dogs, raccoons, meerkats, sheep, etc. or a café where you can dress up as a princess or one where you can eat food shaped like poop, the options are truly endless. Don’t leave without spending some time in a themed café in Seoul!For details on each attraction and more information on unique or quirky things to do in Seoul that aren’t that tourist, be sure to check my Website.Here’s an overview of all attractions:
How popular is learning Mandarin Chinese in your country?
Mandarin is very widely used in Hong Kong (it shares a border with Shenzhen, China to the North), but the question focuses on learning Mandarin.The local dialect of Chinese in Hong Kong is Cantonese, dissimilar enough from Mandarin that it can be considered a separate language. English is also an “official” (widely spoken) language here.Since Hong Kong returned from Britain to China in 1997, Mandarin has been a requisite subject in public education. As such, all “locals” of school age study Mandarin.Interestingly, unless they use it on a daily basis for work (as many do, especially in service/retail sectors), their fluency fades, just as it would for a Westerner who learns Spanish in high school and never uses it again.About 5% of the 7+ million people in Hong Kong are expats. In most industries that expats work in, English is prevalent enough that there is no real need to learn Chinese. Anecdotally, maybe 1 in 10 expats decide to learn Chinese; but when they do, it is virtually always Mandarin (instead of Cantonese).
