It's never a dull moment, another short story by Danielle

So, yesterday my friend and I decide to go into the city down to Canal Street for some good ol fake bag shopping. It was a beautiful day and felt that some retail therapy would be the perfect end to a long weekend. Well, fun it was, drama free, it was not.

We took the tain in and got to Canal at about 12:30. We started at the very beginning of the block so that we wouldn't miss a single shop. About 2.5 hours in, with at least 7 bags under our belt, we were having the best day. Then, all of a sudden, we heard a lot of sirens and saw a big crowd in the crosswalk of an intersection. Of course, being the nosey biotches we are, we ran over only to see a guy being arrested, and PULLED out from under a taxi cab. There was so much comotion, that we figured we should just walk away and keep shopping. After we walked about 20 feet, we see an officer standing over a ton of Louis 'F'uitton bags and we overheard someone saying that when the guy saw the cops, he ran and then the caught him and arrested him. We thought that that would be the only entertainment for the day; boy, were we wrong.

Shortly after that, my friend went into a store and I waited outside. I overheard two Korean women talking and one said, 'Yeah, his face is bleeding, he got punched in the face. He tried to stop the guy from stealing.' I thought maybe it was an old story and she was just gossiping with the other lady. Well, we walk two stores down and there is another big crowd and a Korean man sitting on the front steps of his store with blood EVERYWHERE... his face, hands, clothes, sidewalk -- we were like, HOLY CRAP, what is going on today? again, we just kept walking and 2 cars down from the store was a man, with white sunglasses in his hand and a bloody hand to match. He was screaming, 'I did pay for them! I did pay for them!' My mouth was dragging on the floor.

I never knew that Chinatown could be so eventful. But, I'm not going to lie. I was a little scared.

Anyway, bless your heart if you read this whole thing. It was defintiely one of those, 'you had to be there' kinda things, but hopefully you'll enjoy my rendition.

wow....

yeah sometimes when it rains it pours....


im glad u were ok... but be careful when you spy..

See what we get for being nosy?? A not so fun drama free day. At least it wasn't cops arrescting people for buying fake bags!!

Imagine Danielle and her friend getting booked in the NYC precint for buying to many fake bags and then coming on LIW and telling us. I dont think we would have believed her. That's what I thought when I starting reading your post. But al least you were not in the mddile of that guy stealing and didnt get bumped or anything. You never know what could happen.

actually, we were there shopping for 4 hours -- it was 2.5 hours into the trip that this happened. LOL -- you can definitely call us dedicated!

Yeah, you don't really think of anything like that being dangerous, but then on the train ride home, it really hit us.

Thanks!!! I had no idea it wasn't legal? I mean, there are a LEAST 100 stores!! Although, when we agreed to go see Coach bags and they took us on a 3 block long walk into a salon, through a trap door, down the stairs and into a basement, I should have known something wan not right. LOL

LOL!!! I figured if they had a store, where cops pass everyday, it was ok!! I'm a bit naive sometimes, I know! My mother would have disowned me if I would have gotten arrested... Guess I won't be going back anytime soon...

I really dont like shopping lol...Honestly the only times i go shopping is when i need something. Its like ah i need to buy a dress for a wedding, or i need pants for work or i ran out of make up, and ill only go to specific stores i have to go to and get in and out...FH on the other hand can spend all day shopping lol. It actually bothers him that i dont like shopping lol...Everytime I have to shop for myself and its taking too long he see's how i start to get and is like OH NO are you going to get weird again, its ok lets go. One time after shopping for HOURS with FH, i got real dizzy and lightheaded, i started sweating alot and even started turning pale. I had to go get a redbull and sit down for a few mins, but this happens to me alot even in other situations bc of my very low blood pressure.
