Fire in the Hole!

About two nights go a popcorn machine exploded in the movie center in Punta Carretas Shopping and the mall was shut down for at least a full day while three cleaning crews worked to clean it up. None of the two thousand shoppers at the time were seriously hurt except for a few small injuries and some people who were effected emotionally by the scare. So, I won't be going to the movies on Saturday. Bummer.

But I mention this mostly because through this incident I found out that all the malls in the area (Punta Carretas, Montevideo, and Portones) have a night of discounts that is reminiscent of our black Friday. Its one night only and the earlier you come the bigger the discount. In fact, they are doing it tonight which is why its so good they managed to clean up and re-open that mall today as its the most pricey of them all.
