Pop-culture fiends will delight in Sputnik, tel: (63-2) 709 1867, which sells local and international comics as well as vinyl toys, while fans of vintage furniture will find peace among the mid-century modern antiques of Karma, tel: (63-2) 437 0748, whose olive-green walls and steep red staircase provide a backdrop...
