Yesterday evening I went for photo-hunting to Chinatown when there is this one shop that strike me hard. Really hard to the past in my primary school years. Guess which character did I found?
Yes~! It is Tintin~! I can’t count how many Tintin books have I read. How many cases we Tintin have solved together …. And to find this shop in Singapore is just amazing!
During the short talk with the owner, He told me that the Tintin Shop has just recently open and the Grand opening was 1 week before christmas. I was surprised! Honestly, I loved the character but I didn’t know that they have the shop like this! The owner told me that there are only 7 Tintin Shops in the world, Singapore being the 1 of 2 shops in Asia. (the other one is in Tokyo btw).
So if you liked Tintin and happen to come to Singapore, YOU have to visit this place~! Right now they only carry lots lots and LOADS of merchandise (pretty and funny ones) but starting end of January 2011 they’ll start carrying the English version of the books as well. Exciting~!
Here are some pictures of the shop that the owner kindly let me take (for blogs~! of course!)
It’s quite cozy inside ^_^
TINTIN~! Don’t run!!! 하지마~!
Welcome Board .. very interesting!
Figurines! The one from the series where Tintin went to the moon is my fave!
The special & pricey collector’s edition … *gulp*
Yes! another scene re-enacted~!
They sold some beverages and had a place for you to sit and rest at the foyer of the shops as well~!
This pleasant findings is really nice! Ha3, didn’t knew that I would find this here …. As a fan, of course I had to buy something, and I did ….. I bought a postcard for a friend! hahaha ^_^
