Am I misremembering, or was this some kind of museum building before? Or was it specially built by Apple? Whatever it is, pretty amazing looking.
But what a shame, you can't even fantasize about going to see places any more without a little bit of stress/uncertainty right now. 17 hour flight? 2 week quarantine on arrival?

Anyway, I'm also interested to know how Apple (or other similar retail) decides to put a store somewhere. Is it a straight potential mobile subscriber $ figure, or population disposable income within-x-radius kind of thing? Is it the same threshold across countries? Must be a ~$10M investment to build a store like this. Worth 10,000 customers?
