Boxing Day Sales + New Year’s Fireworks Display

January 4, 2008 · 12 Comments

Boxing Day is on the 26th of December , a day after Christmas…The city was dead on Christmas Day because most all shops were closed : even McD was closed…However, most Asian’s shops were still open on Christmas Day..I spent my Christmas at my sister’s friend’s place in Box Hill ; had dinner at 5 p.m , unwrapped presents and I got a box of chocolates..The food was pretty good despite being vegetarian..After that,we went to a park nearby..My sis’s friend played with his remote controlled model helicopter..I was like a dog playing fetch because it was windy on that day so it affected the stability of the helicopter..So I had to go get the helicopter..Dang..After that,we went to a lake in the park..There were ducks there so we fed them with bread..It was fun throwing pieces of bread into the lake and watching the ducks competing with each other to get them..


little dude feeding the ducks…

Alright,about Boxing Day Sales, the people here, especiallyAsians , had been queing up since the night before at David Jones and Myer..David Jones and Myer are the main shopping complexes in Melbourne..The shopping malls here are huge extending to three streets of which each street,they occupy four or more buldings..Each bulding is roughly four or five stories..So it’s approximately three or four Wisma Ganda-s …Huge…


People actually queued up from the night before…siao..
