Stationery, because Korea

Stationery is kind of a big deal in Korea. It’s cheap and ubiquitous and adorable. There are stationery stores everywhere. However, my absolute favorite thing about the stationery is the English. It comes in all flavors of ridiculous. I’ve started a bit of a collection but simply have neither the space nor the funds to collect it all. So what I cannot own, I sometimes take a picture of, lest these gems of linguistic and contextual contortion go forever unappreciated.
Of note is the endless font of knowledge which stationery provides. Notebooks are not simply a tool with which you can record information, they are apparently also a great source of facts. Because why the hell not?
