Day 17

Another day with a lot of interesting work. In the evening went to get my cam. Finally I am the proud owner of a canon a2000is. It is supposedly one of the best digicams in the market today in that category.

Had to get it duty free packed so that I will get Vat exempted which means I will get 30 euros back. Bought an MMC and a set of rechargeable batteries also. The people here seem to be in a shopping frenzy. I was number 132 that day to buy something at that mall. And I was surprised at the kind of things people were buying. Ever seen anyone take away a huge LCD TV as if it were a small package. People were buying LCDS as if they were candy. There was one guy who actually got it gift packed. The guy standing behind me had three Ipods in his hand. Gosh, I wish someone would gift me an IPOD! And one guy bought four lcd monitors. Christmas!!!

And the number of people on the roads surprise me. There are people all over the place. During weekends some people walk casually around with bottles of alcohol in their hands. It was freezing cold today and as I was waiting for the bus, I was wondering if it would feel good to have a smoke or a drink..(I got into the bus after waiting for 30 mins in the cold). Thankfully Mc chicken meal was still hot in my tummy.
