Russia 2010 — Day 10 - No Best Buy in Moscow; Purchasing Technology Supplies



Since there is not a Best Buy in Moscow, most people that need technology supplies will make there way to a huge market at the Savelovskaya Metro exit, which is luckily three Metro stops away. I would almost bet that there are at least 100 cell phone vendors (actual cell phones, not service providers) at this market, and possibly 1 million cell phones in the windows. The frustrating thing that I have to re-learn each year is to be sure to "shop" the prices as they vary a LOT from shop to shop. In the first picture, notice how many people were selling flowers as today was International Women's Day. Some of the pictures show the market, but there are parts of it where it goes on for what seems to be miles.
