Paris Spring is a brand-shopping mall in Shanghai. With it first store at Xiangyang Road, and Huaihai Road, it started to open many stores in Shanghai these years, after the first store opened 10 years ago.
It is on sale today - only one day - on a Friday.
Most things are 50% off.
It is like crazy. I went there with Wendy, and took some pictures.
I went to BreakTalk and want to get some bread for dinner, only saw this:
All bread was gone.
There are people mountain and people sea... and everyone lines up at cashier's counter for payment.
Guess what they are doing?
They were waiting for buy shoes. The shoes are not cheap - 100 USD or more for men's shoes.
It is said in US, many shopping malls are on sale, but still not many consumer buy. In Shanghai, the economy is surposed to go down, and the consumer power is still there, especially at big sales like today.
P.S. The traffic is completely a mass, and all the roads 3 km around the shopping mall were fully jammed.

Posted by: Michelle on November 15, 2008 12:52 AMIts funny that everybody start to give money for products not realy cheap only because of a sale ;-)
Posted by: Tobi on November 15, 2008 2:07 AM$100 for men's shoes? Too expensive for me.
The US consumer spending is down, but I still see many people in the mall (here in St. Louis, Missouri).
