Greetings all. Money supply running low. For those who does not know, food
in US is expensive like hell. And luck be it, I land in US top 5 most expensive
place to stay (New York,Washington, LA, SF, Silicon Valley). Land here is
ludicruosly expensive. If you think Damansara is expensive, think again. Anyway,
with whatever money I had left (now eating bread and rice only), I actually
went out shopping. I actually saw lots of stuff that I want to buy, but due
to monetary limitations, size limitations, custom limitations and practicallity
limitations.
For those who love high-tech equipments, MP3, CD players, walkman, computers,
video, audio/video, gadgets or anything electronical in nature, you are in
heaven. Its just incredible, never had I been to so many shops what sells
so many things. Imagine Giant. Most of the supershops I been to, each are
that size. Just 5 mins walk from my hotel are:
In addition, within 20 miles from my hotel, they are numerous Radioshacks,
FOUR Fry's Electronic stores (this places are huge, cheap and lots and lots
of variety.) plus numerous other stores and outlets. Fry's is my favourite.
Just too bad they do not accept AMEX card. That limits my spendings alot.
So far, I have visited 3 of the Fry's. Each have their own motive. Been to
one with Egyptian motive, Wild West motive and high-tech motive (Peng Aun:
Overclockers heaven) You have 30 day money back guarentee (15 days for PC
parts). Just buy, try, and return.:) They have things from ranging from:
What else are they other than all these geeky stuff? Well, I wanted to buy
Conan the Barbarian Sword and the Sting from Lord of the Rings (seriously)
but I think I could not get it past Malaysian Custom. Oh, yeah, samurai swords
on sale too (US 100-300). Most are just for beauty only (real but not sharpened
or reinforced) but some are battle ready swords.(meaning U can swing and cut
someone's head off). So any orders?
For those not so offensive oriented, they are numerous clothes shops, linens
shops or just simply gifts shops. Clothes are expensive and not recommended
while others are just stuff you buy if you actually stay here in the US. For
us tourist, only gifts, gadgets or trinkets. I yet to visit the Intel Musuem
so no pics of those. If anyone wish to tumpang me buy something, I be glad
to help. Just email me:).
