| Taekwon V |
Growing up, I remember watching Taekwon V with my mother on a tiny black and white TV with aluminum balls around the antennas. A single move might have disturbed the picture so I remember watching it perfectly still. In Korea, Taekwon V was all we knew and it was the robot warrior we all wanted to have.
I remember that I saved up money to buy a figurine once and it was my treasure. Going to the Toy Museum in Insadong brought back a lot of memories. It is a fascinating museum with toys from all over the world. There were G.I. Joes and Star Wars figurines and even old gameboys and an ancient cabbage patch kids.
The one thing I really liked were the bags of marbles in the bags. It was a game that I would play in the sand with friends and I recall being good at it. Now, I don't even remember how to play the game but I remember how I flicked the big marble with my thumb.
