It’s a short Labor Day holiday, but people’s shopping frenzy is totally unaffected. The day before May 1st, they were queuing at the ATMs, warming up for the battles at various shopping malls. What a sign of the booming economy! But the hordes of customers kill all my desire for things and I usually end up home empty-handedly.
Now I’m in favor of online shopping. Clothes, cosmetics, books, household appliances… anything you can think of are delivered right at your door. At first I thought I got addicted, but later I realize it’s become a habit. It saves time on traveling in this enormous city and saves me from breathing in too many noxious gases.
The only place I frequent is the Carrefour 10 minutes away from where I live. But never dare I go at weekends. I hate the endless queue there, or I hate myself for not having the patience to queue. Ugh!
