Day Eighteen

I was told late night shopping was Thursday; same as what I'm used to.
Imagine my surprise to find all the shops in the city closed. The suburbs have late night Thursday shopping, but in the City it's Friday night. Odd. And confusing to a newcomer. Maybe they hope to catch a whole lot of drunken impulse buys. Friday night's usually the drinks after work night. It seems to be a habit to crack open the beers at 4.30 every Friday in my office, for example.
