Nobody for Boxing Day…

There was nobody at the mall for boxing day. It was empty, even more empty than on a regurlar Saturday. You must think I’m nuts. Well, it was true for Le Boulevard on corner Pie-IX and Saint-Michel.

Most other big locations like Galerie D’Anjou, Place Cote-Vertu, Place Versailles and, of course, Downtown were packed. Many stores had line ups. What’s new in all I’m saying? Nothing, really. Best sales I came across were at 5ieme avenue; 50-70% off on everything. I was hoping Lacoste would have more than 20% off on what I wanted, but no luck.

In Montreal, Boxing Day is like Saigon in Vietnam, except that here, everybody wears a coat and prices are still higher :P

I expected the subway to be more crowded, but it was great. Nice delays and no service failures. Maybe I was just there at the right place right time.

    I never leave my home on Boxing day. Probabilities of car accidents or me losing my nerve from the insane mobs of people in stores are much to high :D
