It's sales war!

And they're off! The sales-hunt season was officially opened today in France. And believe me when I say sales-hunt! People here takes sales so seriously that many of them take one day or half-day off just to go shopping!

There are 4 kinds of shoppers: occasional (the one who just visits stores without anything in mind), modest (has a specific budget to spend as better as possible), professional (already knows which products go for sales before day-0, and even hiddes products inside the store so no one else can take them) and the maniac (buys anything and everything during the first days, without realizing that some products aren't even on sale!)

Today at lunch time there was a war at Champs-Élysées Avenue! Women and men struggling for the best items. I walked inside some stores, just for fun of it... and I saw people jumping on people, buying stuff without even trying them on. Or big queues formed outside some other stores.

Well, all stores but Louis Vuitton... where everything was calm as usual, with the typical tourists inside (mostly japanese).

But I found a really good bargain at Hugo Boss store: a man's suit that cost around 1100 euros a week ago and know was just 900! Take it or leave it! :-)
