The shopping night in Munich
Dear consumer society... What would not be done for you...?
Tonight is the 2. shopping night in Munich city center. Shops open till 0.00am.. A little bit surprising for a very religious area that does not allow people to work on Sunday, and for a country that does not understand marketing so well.. But I have to give in, this is a very nice marketing event!! Ah.. Consumption. Let's just spend money..
Although, this would not be very ethical to organise an event purely around consumption, would it??
So they enhanced the concept and made it the "culture" and shopping night. Wow. changes everything.. Doesn't it?
Means that in or in front of every big retailer, concerts are organised. What a cultural stuff!! I guess we are going to be a lot more knowledgable after tonight ;-)
Ah don't forget also the biergartens.. Of course.. We're in Bavaria!
Here the claim:
"Träumen, Shoppen, Schwärmen
Das Cityfest für alle. Staunen Sie über 850 Minuten Stimmung und Programm
mit zahlreichen Events und Sonderaktionen in und außerhalb der Geschäfte
in der Münchner Innenstadt. Mit Weißwurst-Frühshoppen bis 12.00 Uhr (bei den
teilnehmenden Innenstadtwirten) und Shoppen bis 24 Uhr. Und als Special:
Freie Fahrt für alle Geburtstagskinder* mit U-Bahn, Tram und Bussen der
MVG im Münchner Stadtgebiet und der S-Bahn, und ab 20.00 Uhr für alle
1 Std. kostenlos parken (in den teilnehmenden Parkhäusern)."
"Dream, shop, wonder
The cityparty for everyone. Enjoy those 850 minutes with mood, and its rich programm, with events, sales, in and outside the shops of Munich downtown. We offer Munichs white sausages till noon and shopping till midnight. And every children born on Spetember 12nd travel for free with on the subway from 8.00 p.m.. And, for everyone, parking is free for one hour!"
What a programme.. Especially the sausage part, I find ! lol
But, in the end, I'm a Western girl, born and grown in the consumer society, so I find this night quite exciting. Some life in Munich.. Shops open.. So I'll go, of course.. To fill up my life with this nothing..
