An odd yet awesome store. If you're after Anime, J pop, K…read morePop, Chinese Pop, Asian dramas or merchandise for literally any of the things previously mentioned, hit up Media Asia. Some of the stuff they sell is pretty dodgy I'll admit, I saw a couple of anime dvds with the boxes falling apart on the shelves. But hey, it's cheap, cheerful and in Chinatown - What more do you expect? Ps, they recently moved stores 19/421-429 Sussex Street. Enjoy!

Kids, some as young as eight, have the latest Android or I Phone. When I was eight, I got a colour beaded necklace, a book, and a hug. I don't mean to sound like a fuddy duddy (and yes, I have a smart phone, and yes, I like it a little too much), but in our digital internet era, it's refreshing to find a shop that does it old school. At RRR, formerly known as Discovery when it was located in Hornsby, you're guaranteed to find some hidden gems. They stock a huge range of both second and brand new vinyl records-LPs, EPs, 12", 45s and cd's. The music categories include House, Hip Hop, Reggae, Jazz and Progressive Rock, but there are many more. Be prepared to spend money-some of the records cost over $400 but if you search hard enough, you might just score a bargain. Some of my friends who are Trance DJ's keep their fingers crossed that nobody will find out about this place. Everything is carefully preserved and the owner only too happy to point you in the right direction or check the catalogue to see if the record you want is in store. In addition to music retail, there's a bunch of good books, bric-a-brac items such as home wares, jewellery and antiques, and even men's and women's clothing.

Well that's second hand records and books for you. There is a light waft of mothballs and rightly so. Anyhow, items are dirt cheap here, pardon the pun. So if you really want to get a magazine, an edition to your record collection or purchase an old relic because you're going through a collectors phase then you may be able to make a purchase for under $10 and leave with a couple of things.
