Electronics Shopping - China Style


Had a user with a non-standard laptop blow out his a/c adapter yesterday, plus we ran out of the photo-quality ink we use to print out the pages of the paper that we hang on the wall outside our office, so our telecom guy Eddie, one of our Hong Kong office reps, Winnie, and I headed out to an electronics store to see if we could find stuff today. Ummmm....this was no simple electronics store. Four floors of a very large building full of booths selling virtually everything electronic under the sun...and Winnie said there were 4 or 5 similar places in that part of the city. Needless to say we found exactly what we were looking for with very little difficulty and walked around the place a bit. You could go crazy in there!

We had lunch in a food court at the top of the building. Manchu Wok or Panda Express it wasn't. Tasty stuff. Interesting thing was that after we ordered the food, we had to pay for it before they brought it to the table--like they thought we might dine and dash or something!

It's raining here. Hard. Delaying or postponing some outdoor events apparently, but it has cooled it off a bit and it ought to wash some of the smog out of the air.
