Boxing Day是买名牌服饰的好时候。这话听起来很老套，但我确实很老套，来英国后还是第一次在Boxing Day跑Bicester Village。Bicester Village是英国Boxing Day Shopping首选的sites之一。

车行120分钟到Bicester Village，偌大好几个停车场上已经车满为患。
Bicester Village就只有一条步行街，集中了一百多个品牌，服饰为主，夹杂一些日用品、香水、图书之类，甚至还有Bose音响。Bicester Village入口也不显眼，要不是有人带路，很容易错过。
每家店门面都不大，招牌倒相对起眼。我随便照了一些招牌，有名的不有名的、大牌杂牌，既然我逛了一天逛得头晕眼花，就胡乱堆些照片希望能把各位看官看得眼花缭乱。

Why so many Chinese come shopping in Bicester Village? I figure out some possible reasons:
