The LAST time we were in Hong Kong, we had the misfortune of coming during Chinese New Year.

For what was supposed to be an auspicious time of the year, they decided to screw over the bear and close all the cool shops.  Meaning I couldn’t go to any of the electronics shops all.

This time around, things were open so I got to go to an electronics market. We went to 168 Market in Wanchai.

To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it’d be like a cool live version of Amazon.com?

It ended up being stall after stall of these tiny shops selling random things like cell phone cases and more cell phone cases. There were three labyrinth floors of stores, each run by owners that may or may not be present.   We even passed a store with stacks of games that I looked at wistfully.

Games. I played those once.
