There was a bit of a faff with the hotels today so we weren't left with much time to do anything other than check out and check in. However, we did have time to check out what could only be assumed to be an urban myth. A place where the 'f' word is used without restraint and geeks are the preferred clientele. A place where, you can walk down any street and see nothing but beautiful names in lights - 'pentax,' 'canon,' 'nikon.' And the honey to top off the milk - goods can be bought at very low prices. Surely this place couldn't exist.
But it did. And it was Fine.
I felt like a kid in a toy shop. Here lay two long street whose sole existence seemed to be to cater to my every want or need in the camera department. I may not believe in love at first sight, but this was definitely lust at first sight. Every store you went into seemed to have more than the last. More than I could afford for sure but a girl can dream. (It's streets like this that make people pay attention in classes - 'how to marry a wealthy man' - damn morals.)
I did practice a lot of restraint, only buying a filter and a chafe-free camera strap (to the relief of my neck.) Although, I must admit, I did leave with every intention of going back. How could I not?
