Computer DIY Acrade - Golden Computer Center and Acrade




Golden Computer Centre (traditional Chinese: 高登電腦中心) and Golden Computer Arcade (traditional Chinese: 黃金電腦商場) are two markets for computer and computer related products in the same building in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.

The Golden Computer Arcade occupied the basement and the first floor of the building. The shops in the basement mainly sell computer books and computer accessories such as CD-R discs, cables, keyboards while the ones in first floor sell video game machines and electronic products. The Golden Computer Centre stacks above the arcade. Its shops mainly sell computers, printers, and many other computer parts and peripherals.



People often come here and acquire relatively cheap parts to build their personal computers, which often demonstrate superior performance to branded computers of the same price as the components, provided they were assembled properly.

Ladies Street - Hong Kong

Where in Hong Kong can you find the cheapest and largest selection of clothes, toys, cosmetics and more? What is Ladies’ Street? Ladies’ Street is a street (or should I say open-air bazaar) famous in Hong Kong for cheaper goods. It is one of the busiest places in Hong Kong. Ladies’ Street, as it is nicknamed, is also known as “Ladies’ Market”. Its official name is Tung Choi Street. Despite its name, not only ladies’ products are sold there, even though it was once devoted to ladies’ clothing only. Ladies’ Street must not be missed by the tourist. But watch out for fakes or pirates. After all, like they say, you can’t be a tourist without being scammed!

Starting Time
The Market opens at about noon and operates up to around half past ten to eleven. It is said to be the “day version” of Temple Street’s night market. Along the stalls, you will find mainly inexpensive items such as clothing for men and women of all ages, watches, accessories, bags, cosmetics, small household items and toys. The market gets its name because it is particularly well known for fashionable ladies’ clothing and is renowned for good bargains. It makes a popular shopping place for both locals and tourists.



Location
Located conveniently near Mong Kok’s MTR station, Ladies’ Street is crowded with people at all times. Extending from Dundas Street north to Argyle Street, it shares a lot of customers with the Goldfish Market, on a different section of the same street. Walking down the street, besides people and more people, you can see many stalls set up along side the road. Hold your children’s hand tight as you squeeze in between crowds to look at the products each merchant has to offer. If you find something to your liking, you may bargain with the shop keepers, enjoying a different kind of pleasure. It is the delightful place of collecting cheaper goods. Absolutely don’t forget to haggle with the merchants. The owners are very competitive and may drop their prices, but don’t forget the law of shopping – “you will always find what you just bought cheaper somewhere else; that is, after you buy it”.

...If you’re a tourist coming to Hong Kong, you simply can’t miss this famed street. It may not be Hollywood Boulevard, but no visitor can leave Hong Kong without buying anything, and Ladies’ Market is THE place to buy Hong Kong style souvenirs: a mix of both oriental and western style. You may easily overspend your time there looking through the many accessories and might find some items you like. But remember “Hong Kong style” shopping is to look through all the stalls first!...

Transportation
Take the MTR to Mong Kok Station, then take the B2 exit. Walk east along Prince Edward West Road until you reach Tung Choi Street. The Ladies' Market is just next to the Goldfish Market.
