After arriving at the shopping mall in Bellevue via Uber my first way was into the Apple store, followed by the Microsoft store. I even saw a Tesla and a Mini store between clothing and cosmetics stores 🙂 . But then I was surprised that there was also a Leica store, from which I took a photo immediately.
