By Pat Law • Aug 12th, 2008 • Category: The Lonely TravellorMy word, this kiosk is fascinating. Objects found in this stand of fluid unpredictability ooze of beauty stemmed from their simplicity. The buyers travel around the world to source for traditional goods that have been developed over generations, or anonymous design born as a result of local aesthetics and needs. Each country’s collection is featured in the shop for about four to six months, in limited quantity subjected to luggage limitations.
