I also decided that I needed to buy myself a new laptop. I asked PC world how much it would cost to fix the one I have right now and they told me that it will be £229. I was better off buying a new one! After talking it through with my mother, I gave Jeffrey a call. I don't know much about laptops. I haven't purchased one, ever. Because he works with computers, I figured he can help me the most. So, he and I went around and he schooled me a bit on what the configuration stuff really are. I must say, I understood those enough to get myself by.
Because there are limited choices in the city center, I decided that I was going to go back to PC world, check their selection out and also go online and browse around. I'm going to get married to this laptop for another five years so I need to actually like it. Stores close at around 5:30 so we parted around that time. As I was heading back to our flat, I walked a different way to check out the Asian store that Joanne told me about. And it is pictured in that photo above.
I walked in and I felt so happy. Definitely the lift I needed. I was still down because of the laptop fiasco and I needed to something to get it off my head even for just a bit. I didn't buy anything in there but I savored being in it. I was looking at their shelves and selections and it reminded me so much of being home. I guess this was really the first time I felt homesick. I just wanted my laptop problem solved and buying one from here makes it so complicated because 1. It's in GBP, 2. Their keyboard's slightly different and 3. Their power cord is different. And it doesn't help that laptops are not exactly in my area of expertise.
Thus, this Asian supermarket was my cheerer-upper. It was wonderful.
