Microsoft Store!

How could I forget to write about my adventures to the Microsoft Store!!  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Locations/bellevue

I had no idea that such stores even existed until I rounded the corner in the Belleuve Square Mall to be greeted with the familiar red, green, blue and yellow squares! It was really hard not to act too 'geeky' and I stood outside like a true tourist clicking away - amid the stares of the general shoppers - hey I am Australian - we are all a little weird!! So inside the shop I was greeted with a wall of software, a range of never seen before devices (well at least to us Australians!) and a whole heap of people having a great time interacting with the technology!!

While my visit was brief I loved every second - my only question is why don't we have one of these stores in Australia!  Microsoft Store beware I will be back - this time to buy some souvenirs!

Hi Kylie. Don't worry about being an odd Australian. They will love you all the more. PS Is that Deb Brooks in the green jumper? If not, has to be her double! Sounds like you are having an awesome time. Good for you!! Freezing cold here :(
