    关于Black Friday-美国人也是很疯狂的

    感恩节过完的那个凌晨被称作black Friday, 因为大部分的商家都会打折,而且不是一般的折扣,一般都是50%off,当然,数量也是有限的,卖完即空。时间也很早,凌晨开始,从1点到5点开始的都有,在国内几乎没有这样的商家吧,至少我没有听说过。据美国同学说,这是购物最疯狂的时候,超市会出现少有的人山人海摩肩接踵的状况,被称作stampede。

    鉴于少少的银子和尚未成为家庭主妇,我没有太在意,又没车,深更半夜也没bus,况且大部分都是大件家用产品。但早上起床就听说有个师兄半夜三点钟去抢购,满载而归然后安然入睡,我的台湾同学也在两点半抢到coach四折的包包。

    刚才在纽约时报上看到的纽约wal-mart踩踏事件,深为震惊。五点钟开门,两点半就已经有人在门外排队,快五点的时候上千的人群已经控制不住,想要强行进入店内。店门大开始,一位店员被推倒在地,人群涌入,势不可挡,想想美国人健硕的体形吧,想要求助几乎是不可能的。警察到了也无济于事,最终6点过5分身亡。详情请看http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/29/business/29walmart.html?ref=business

    想起了某年北京密云的灯展踩踏事件,当然严重程度不一样,死伤人数远远超过了walmart。美国人民也没有想象中那么文明的,唉。哀悼一下。

    可是,今天的东西确实很便宜,面对这么多商品都要不知所措了。
