Apple Stores gibts in Taipei auch, doch wenn man schon mal da ist: Guanghua Digital Plaza hat unemeßlich Goodies für Hardwarenerds. Auch kuriose Bedarfe werden bedient -> https://mastodon.social/deck/@pallenberg/113757769889345957 #taipei #guanghua
On Guanghua market, now Guanghua Digital Plaza, every floor of the building has these little or mid-sized booths selling stuff they're specialized on. This one, I presume, is run by Mr. Speaker. #guanghua #taipei #loudspeakers #karakoke

On Guanghua market, now Guanghua Digital Plaza, every floor of the building has these little or mid-sized booths selling stuff they're specialized on.

Around the Taipei Guanghua market 光華商場, today and in 2004: zillions of parked scooters, and building-size ads for all things PC DIY.

Since ~20 years ago the market occupied several locations, for reasons of growth and better representation: the PC industry in Taiwan is world class! Also the old bridge had to go.

On these old pictures you see the old location, kinda tucked away beneath the Guanghua bridge. Less free space, but the same feel of densely packed sales booths as today: each offering one or two specialties and staff happy to negotiate prices if you ask nicely.

Today, the Guanghua Digital Plaza is just next door.
