Nobody in Germany knows some about Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
All News in America a full of informations about the sales rush on
this friday and the problems of the workers, that must work since
yesterday in Walmart and Co. Because: Black Friday kicked off
around 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Shoppers are expected to take
part of the thanksgiving sales and storm Target, Toys R Us or Sears.
A few years back someone was trampled to death at Florida's
Walmart for a $25 DVD player. This year it will probably be a
cheap Blu-ray player. Thats a really progress, isnt it?
In Germany we have fortunately no problems when shopping for
Christmas. Everything is regulated by the state. There are three
Sundays before Christmas where you can shop. It may only be open from
noon to 18 clock in the evening. People have celebrated the extension
of opening times a few years ago. Now you can shop at most to 22
clock in the evening. Even on Saturdays. Wonderful. Not only for the
people in the shops, which then work for another hour and are also an
hour earlier at the store. Well anyway, the main thing X-mas comes
and you are happy and love each other. Here are some pictures from a
local Christmas fair, called in german "Weihnachtsmarkt".
