Saturday = Shopping

Saturday and Sunday we had on our own. On Saturday a bunch of us went shopping down Portobello Street and Oxford Street. Portobello was a bunch of small shops down a long street. They had a clothing/jewellery section leading on to antiques and then the food market. We then headed over the Oxford Street which had more modern stores. The Primart was the most insane store I have ever been in. I have never seen so many people in a store. Imagine if Wal-Mart put everything 70% off at Christmas time and then you would begin to have a sense of the people. And these people aren't polite. They push and shove past you and it is so crazy. They had some really good prices (basically what would expect to normally pay in the U.S. once you convert it to dollars, but they are excellent deals for London.) I didn't find anything, but several girls went to try things on but there was a 6 article MINIMUM, yes minimum. You could not go into the dressing room unless you had 6 items. So they gave them 4-5 items just randomly to take into the dressing room. So weird.
