Black Friday Shipping

          I heared Black Friday Shopping for a long time. It sounded very interesting and i really wanted to experience it.

          In this Thanksgiving night, i went shopping with my friends and finally experienced the crazy shopping night.

          For taking the parking place, we arrived the shopping mall at 9pm. It was cold and rainy outside, but we were not the frist. There were some people already waiting there. "i can't believe it"i talked to my friends. After two hours waiting, the shopping mall opened the door, but the stores inside were still closed. Peopel ran to the store they like and queued outside the store. We were in the line of A&F. It was terrible, because there were about 200 people in that line. When the store was opened at 12am, all of those people crushed into the store. It seemed that it was free for everything, but actually it just was 50% off. It was too crowd to shop, what we could do was grabing some itmes and waiting again in the line of check out. We spent 15 minuts on grabing clothes but 3 hours on checking. That was horrible. All of us were exhausted when we came out from A&F.

       Although it was tired for the Black Friday shopping, it was fun and interesting. I like shopping, so i felt very excited when i saw so many people shoped together. However, i found the deals given by stores was not good enough. It seems that Christmas deals will be better than Black Friday. Let shop at Christmas again!

Halloween experience

    
    Halloween in California is real a big festival. I spent Halloween last year in Oregon, but the atmosphere there was not as good as here.

    Since a month before Halloween, we could see the decoration everywhere. In our campus, people decorated a lot of spider webs, pumpkins, skeletons in the buildings, offices, library, food court, book store. Outside the campus, i could still sense the Halloween atmosphere from decorations in restaurants, coffee shops, shopping malls and the gardens in front of the personal houses.

    There are Halloween events in Universal studio and Nott scare farm, which you can't find in elsewhere. I really wanted to go the events to experience the fear, but i couldn't find the friends who would like to go with me. That's very upset.

   In Halloween day, a lot of students and teachers dressed interesting costumes. The waitress who dressed the dark warrior costume in Starbucks in Food court was so cool!! I liked her mask and wanted to take picture with her. But she was busy at the time... I also saw a old lady who dressed a wizard's costume with a parrot wand. But she walked too fast, i couldn't catch her......

   I like the Halloween in California. Hope i can go to the Halloween event in Universal Studio next year.
