Akihabara, Eat Your Heart Out

An amazing sounding Technology Mall in Shenzhen, China. Photos here. Ooh look, there are some videos on You Tube too, it looks awsome, if you’re that way inclined. Also check out the bizarre cross shaped MP3 players in this picture

As I first step foot into the building, I am assaulted by a whirlwind of electronic components. Tapes and reels of resistors and capacitors, ICs of every type, inductors, relays, pogo pin test points, voltmeters, trays of memories, all crammed into tiny six-by-three foot booths with a storekeeper poking away at a laptop, sometimes playing Go, sometimes counting parts. Some booths are true mom-and-pop shops, with mothers tending to babies and kids playing in the aisles.
