Where would you go on a shopping spree?

View all responses

If I had to pick a theme for a shopping spree, it wouldn’t be clothes or shoes; it’d be all about technology. Not Tokyo with its cool but often Japan-specific gadgets, but somewhere in the US where I can get my hands on tech that I can actually use back home.

So, what’s on my shopping list? Pretty much everything a tech lover could want—a new gaming desktop, a MacBook for work, a smartwatch, and the latest smartphone. There’s no budget to worry about in this hypothetical spree, so why not go all out?

I’d bring my twin along for the ride. It seems like it would make the experience more enjoyable, having someone with similar tastes and just as much enthusiasm for tech.

The top of my shopping list would be a new MacBook. It’s crucial for pretty much everything I do, from work to leisure. A gaming desktop would be a close second because I’ve missed owning one.

A shopping spree isn’t just about what you buy, though. Where you go in between shops matters too. For me, a good coffee shop is key. An iced latte is the perfect shopping accessory.

As for the plan, it would be pretty simple: start with coffee, hit a few stores in the morning, take a break for lunch, then more shopping in the afternoon before ending with a nice dinner. Nothing too specific, just going with the flow.

This all stems from a genuine interest in technology. Unfortunately, it’s usually more of an interest than a practicality, given the prices of the latest gadgets.

So, there you have it—a day spent indulging in tech fantasies, made even better with coffee and good company. It’s not about making a statement or finding inspiration. It’s just about enjoying the moment and maybe, just maybe, getting that one piece of tech you’ve always wanted.
