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?

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...)

Apple does indeed own it's "official" stores - they're not franchises.
