I Can't breathe inside Harrods

On 28th Dec, the great Harrods sales started. I knew a lot of shoppers will Q up in front of the store but I had decided to go there at noon. I stopped at the Knightsbridge station and I noticed the exit for the Tube station has been made into one way! When I went around the front door, there was a long Q still .. apparently that's how they control the crowds and not overloaded inside the mall. Instead I went around to the backdoor entrance and managed to sneak in without any sweat.

Phew, when I thought I made it finally, then I look for the Men's shoes department. I found it within few minutes (it's like a maze and with so many people in there it does not help but to get lost!) and quickly look through what they had to offer. I have to say they have sucha big collections such as Armani, Prada, Paul Smith, Barker, Miu Miu and many other European shoes. And the price, mostly slashed from 40% upwards. Pretty good eh! I have been always aiming for a Paul Smith, since it's British and I thought I should be loyal to the local brand since I am in London. I found what I want and went straight to a counter with at least 10 people in front of me. There were 2 rows at that particular section.

After my happy purchased I wander around for Men's wear. I managed to locate and it's at the basement for contempary wear. I am so impressed with the collections, anything you can find from GQ magazines, it's all there! I think it's even better than Macy's in US, due to their European's collections. I browsed through the racks and shelves, and the same time moving shoulder to shoulder with all other shoppers. After 30 minutes, I started to feel dizzy! There were a lot of things I want to get, but the price is still expensive (but cheap for a designer brand). For example, a color stripe shirt from Paul Smith after discount is around GBP59! (that's around 400RM).

I have my goods on my hand but when I saw the long Q for fitting rooms and cashier. I left the goods behind. I just cannot do it. I cannot breathe, I felt dizzy again. The whole shopping experience at this time was nauseating. But but if you could brace through all these crowds, it's really worth it! I think I have enough for now ..though I wish I have more ..... :P
