Thanks, Felix.
You are absolutely right. I knew that, just couldn't hold myself to copycat one of my friend : he did this always, LAX/UCLA ( library ) &/or circuit city ... we r both stupid persons :)

No, there is only 4-5 hrs gap in LAX for my trip to TX. Twice, of course ... geez.. I hate transit..

CircuitCity 太小了啦 ...
BestBuy 大一點 到BestBuy網頁 輸入LAX zip code 90045 就有答案啦 最近的十分鐘就到了....

Wow.. 又多一個地方, 如果有 Treo 650 搞不好真要冒險去

Don't plan on leaving LAX unless you are stopping for at least 1/2 day. The traffic around LAX is the worst in all of West Coast US. If you arrive during peak hours, you will spend at least 2 - 3 hours in traffic to get to anywhere in the area. This includes UCLA.

Well, guess it's PERIOD for my crazy and immature idea now. :$
Thanks, pals, for all warm and smart advises.

怎麼不問我呢?我就住在LAX附近啊‧‧‧
Hawthorne有一家 Circuit City 和 Bestbuy,而且就在正對面,而 Manhattan Beach 有一家 Fry's,三家都在LAX機場20分鐘車程之內‧‧‧

Oh.. 之前不知道 Kenichi 兄呀..
等我查一下 itinerary details... but 好像實在太趕了 ?

circuit city不要去啦
都沒有什麼東西
best buy還好一點
東西多一點
good guys是比較偏向視聽電器方面

所以還是去fry's最好
可以先去latimes.com看廣告, 一三五出刊
www.outpost.com 是他的線上購物站
他們口也有廣告說

忘了說
我的外國同學都是用mapquest.com比較多
yahoo的路徑好像不是那麼準確
有nb的話
可以去找找ms出的 streets and trips
我用起來是還不錯用啦

I often traveled between LAX and other US cities. Yes, LAX is one of the most crazy airport in the US. And, you need at least 1-2 hours to check-in before the departure. Due to 911, the security enforcement level at LAX is quite high and the procedure takes time.

I am a gadget guy as well. Spending 2 hours in a big electronics store is often not enough for me. Gambling on buying a gadget at a foreign country with your limited-time fly transition may not be wise. And, to be honest, most of the good 3C products are made in Taiwan. Why not just buy it directly at Taiwan that will give you a full warranty covered.

Have a good trip.
Roger, pals. I won't do that, too risky for my age :$.
I'd checked up on my friend, it was 3 or 4 yrs ago the last time he did such rush job ( LAX / UCLA ).
再次謝謝各位. 不去了 這年紀裹有這種衝動的想法, 歹勢.

Yes, Taiwan is super for 3C fans like me. Not kinda falg-waver, I prefer to collect those 3C products with full warranty always. Some items is not avalable here : DECT cordless phones ( years ago, thougt it's MIT ), HPC ( S3 ), Treo 600 ( 7 months ago ), Radio scanners ... :$ and.. Treo 650 ! NEC versa litepad, Sony Vaio U70... teez..
Wandering around COMEX_TPE or those 3C stores .. fun for me. Shopping is not necessary. Watching babe is fun, buying her a drink is another story ... OK , my confession: shopping and hunting is great, but sometimes u just couldn't make it..

Plan B: turn one of my frined to be the "bridgehead" for future shopping in US .
剛剛試了新買的Garmin Quest 不用三分鐘就找到離LAX最近的BestBuy並導航完成喔 Post 出來給有興趣的人參考 步驟如下:

先在地圖上找到LAX

然後選Find Near

然後選Shopping

用螢幕鍵盤輸入要找的店名 這裡用Best Buy試試

類別選 Computer/Software

所有的Best Buy按距離遠近全列出來了

點選之後還可以看到地址和電話 可以先打電話去確認一下是不是你要找的店 然後選Route to

不到五秒鐘 導航計算完成 最近的一個只要八分鐘就可以到了喔

然後就讓Quest的語音導航帶路囉

果然安全抵達目的地


LAX延著PCH1號公路往南走約5~8分鐘就有一家FRY'S,在左手邊~~~~~很近喔~~~~可供參考~~
那天過境還是忍不住在 checkin domestic flight 的行李後叫 cab 去了 Fry's .. 應該是 各位說的 PCH1 5-8 minutes 左手那家
___ 去程 12-15minutes , $19.xx :(
___ 回程請 Fry office 叫 cab.. 13mins. $11.xx :(

不過那天是 weedend... 據 cab driver 說是比較沒塞車
Fry 是真的很像 NOVA + 燦坤的綜合體. 不過
___ Treo 650 : not yet, 有也要綁 Sprint 的合約, 有沒有 simblocked ? 未知
___ Sony VAIO U50, U70, HPC, ICOM radio scanners. HUD --- No
___ DC 除非不怕買展示品..沒台北便宜
最後買了 兩個 INOV Microlight @$6.99 + Tax 8.25% = $7.566675 = @NT$248.34
當然加上 $30 Taxi... 到此一遊 :$
____ 不過我回到機場 security checkup 在 departure time 前 2小時就算我是緊急, 把我插隊到人那行.. 不可不慎
明天又要等 5hrs.. 唉, 要到哪裡 ??
