I remember seeing the lit-up sign of this very branch and literally running up to the doors - excited because I was in the market for a new laptop and, after browsing all the labyrinthine stalls at the filthy, toilet-smelling, multilevel Chinese computer markets next door, leaving disgusted by the pushy "you want computer? cheaper cheaper!" sales tactics, the laughably fake "Official Retailer" marquees for Apple, etc., and the obviously-tampered products that have had all their original hardware swapped out with refurbished crap - only to find a massive chain lock across the front doors and the windows blacked out.
