Though just a small kiosk, this store is still worth visiting because of its location inside the SKT Tower. If you have a reservation, you can participate in a tour, but if that doesn't work out you can still play with the media tables in front of the kiosk, and you DEFINITELY have to check out the electronic fish pond. I was told that the program that controls the fish is so sophisticated that the fish actually grow and get old. VIEWSogangdae, Seoul, South Korea

This is a seriously cool store. Besides the ancient-looking tile in the exterior, as soon as you walk in you see a wall-size display about Korea with old photographs and captions (which I can't read). Much of the decor and furniure is reclaimed, and there are labels indicating this--for example, a soffit was made from reclaimed roof shingles from a decommissioned house.Sookdae, Seoul, South Korea
