On Saturday, we headed to the local electronics market. A little research revealed its location, but not what to expect. Being adventurous, we embarked on the mission of finding and exploring this shopping area. It turned out to be similar in style to other areas we have explored, large multi-story buildings with flea-market type stalls selling their wares. Usually, the first floor is the most polished and one might even be tempted to believe the large electronics manufacturers sponsor these stalls. Level two, three, four and basement were different, yet offered a plethora of electronics and parts. We wandered up and down two building. Lukas had been wanting to get a new screen protector for the hand-me-down phone from morfar, and so far the prices he had been quoted were in the $10 range. In one of the stalls, he got a brand new one installed for less than a $1 and afterward, we realized we probably could have bargained to lower the price. We also picked up new charging cables, the price was right, so the boys accepted the baby pink color. "It is now apparent where electronics go to die. If these vendors would fix each of the broken down systems in their possession, everyone in China could have a computer, printer, or phone, or at least it seems like that.

Fancy computer towers - maybe this one does not need to be hidden... |

Noah was annoyed this phone was not rotary dial - he said it was the deal breaker and he did not buy it. |
|
I am sure what we need can be found in this bin or in one just like it at the next stall, or the next one.... |

Parts? |
