Tech Shopper's Paradise

When I moved to California 10 years ago, I moved into the neighborhood of Fry's Electronics. I thought that was cool until I visited Akihabara in Tokyo, Japan. It's like Fry's times 1000. There are hundreds of stores with a big a selection as Fry's crammed together in a small section of the city. Despite the limited space, these stores still manage to have every single model of camera, computer, notebook, webcam, flatscreen, etc. on display.

This photo collection on CNet News.com reminded me of my trip.

Even if you don't buy anything, whether it's Fry's or Akihabara, it's worth going just for the experience.
