Trip to Low Yat Plaza

Photobucket

It was a public holiday for Selangor on Wednesday, so I went to Low Yat Plaza with my hubby and daughter to look for an electronic dictionary for Miss PreTeen...heard that electronic stuff there is cheap. But we got caught in a traffic crawl and spent about an hour in the car, inching along...thank God for auto-transmission cars!

Low Yat Plaza is quite an interesting place...very much like an air-conditioned marketplace, not for foodstuff but for electronics - computers, mobile phones and spare parts for electronic equipment. There's always lots of people and activity, and the range of products available is amazing.

There is a website called Mobile88.com where you can find the price listing and reviews for all the various models of handphones sold at Low Yat Plaza. This was what I did before I bought my handphone.

We found a Besta stall but the electronic dictionaries were rather pricey - from RM500 to above RM1000 for a reasonably good one which can translate 3 languages: Chinese, English and Malay. The best price we could get was only RM9 less than the original price, so we decided not to purchase it, much to my daughter's disappointment. So it's back to paperback dictionaries for the time being...
