Today, Boxing Day is a typical day of a shopping dissipation.
I had the opportunity to spend that day in London, England. In the morning I went to the famous shopping centre in the famous district of Stratford .When i got out from train I could not believe the crowds of people aiming towards the center . When I walked in I felt like an anthill , people were so excited about special sales . Not to mention the huge queues as was the case with the NEXT store where even the security had to use force because of the crowd of people wanting to get to the store and clothes on the floor,mess everywhere . After 4 hours when I got home without any purchase I said to mum that I feel so sorry for the people who must work there and after closing tidy this mess left after customers,but every country have own habits.. in Poland we also have sales but it is still not the same like in UK.
