All trips are filled with the things you didn’t plan for…the surprises as well as the small details that were taken for granted and ignored.
Last summer we spent a full week scouring the city for curtain rings. It was astonishing. We went into hardware stores, fabric shops, housewares shops, curtain stores. No one had them. Finally we found a wide selection at Obi, a logical place to look but out of the way. Not a very common tourist need, admittedly, but the next day we met some friends of a friend, visiting from Australia, and they happened to mention that they were looking for curtain rings … go figure.
So this part of the website tries to close that circle, in the hope that it will make at least some of yours less annoying.
