The first surprise was that we needed 25 minutes to park our car. This is rather unusual in America. Then we saw the crowd, queuing up in front of the shops.
Well, the discounts were remarkable. 30-50 per cent was not unusual.
But inside the shops it looked like a battlefield. Waiting time to checkout was upto 30 minutes. And at the time we arrived the needed sizes and the interesting colors were already sold out.
So we ended, after seeing most of 145 stores and after 7 hours of shopping, with only a few bags. 
It was a great experience, but hard work. I cannot understand that women can have fun while shopping for hours... :-)
