The prices of electronics and computer related accessories are among the many items that travelers and expatriates will often find to be much more affordable in Asia rather than back home. In fact, the Asian Wall Street Journal’s weekly Arbitrage column has recently conducted a survey of prices for SanDisk 8GB Memory Cards in Asia and around the world and to no one's surprise, memory card prices tended to be the lowest in Asian cities and the highest in European cities plus New York. Thus, if you are in need of a few extra memory cards or other similar accessories and are not based in Asia, you may want to consider purchasing them on your next visit to the Asia region.
