Thanksgiving, and the day after!
Was not able to blog for some time now.....a combination of work and laziness ;-)
Anywayz, Nov 27th was Thanksgiving Day and Nov 28th was also a holiday as "Day after Thanksgiving". Day after Thanksgiving is the day when u get the best deals for shopping in US....the shops will be open from 5-6am in the mroning, and by 10-11am, there wud be very few items left in any shop......everything wud be brought! I heard that ppl crowd to the shops by 3-4am! Reminded me of the q for kerosene back in Bangalore ;-)
Saw in news that Walmart made business of 1.5 billion dollars on that single day!!! Just goes on to show th effectiveness of such "festivals". I really apperciate Americans for planning their holidayz for maximum benefit! Must appreciate their thoughtfulness!
