Well would you believe there is an Apple retailer in Kathmandu (Nepal)?

I know coz I went there and it was lovely.  Amid chaos, noise, dust and extreme poverty everywhere, there was a beautiful white gleaming Apple store.  I took my friends in and it was heaven.

Also very surreal and rather odd!

Does Apple actually own all of its "official" stores?

oops.gif Got kicked in the knee just as I clicked. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
(I thought the software took care of that little problem. If I wait 10 seconds and try to add a new post, it merges it with the previous one...)
