Black Friday

Yesterday was Black Friday, which is a day after Thanks Giving Day. This day is special as people will wake up early for shopping.

Woke up at 2:45am yesterday, we took a 30 min walk to a shopping mart: Walmart. It is like those hypermarket back home, but more emphasizes on hardware than food. My friends and I went there planning to get a bike, and some of them want electronics stuff which are really cheaper back home.

We reach Walmart around 3:30am and there is already a long queue in front of the mart. Workers are distributing maps of the mart, hoping that people know where to head when the shop open. Those discounted products are not place as they were normally placed.

At 4am, the shop open, People running in the mall to get the stuff they want. Most of them want TVs and laptops. Some other devices like Wii, PSP, PS3, Guitar Hero are just like a fan, or a rice cooker for them, place on shelf. American's are really pampered with all these video games.

After getting a bike, we also plan to get a kettle. To boil water of course. Asking a senior shop assistance, around 60 years old man, where the kettles are located, he answered: " I had not seen an electrical kettle since this mart is established. Let me check, " Of course, we can't find one in the end.

Around 6am, we had to go back since I had to work around 11.30am on that day itself.
