World’s best shopping destinations with the best time to grab hot deals

Bo Derek once said, “Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” While some people don’t agree that materialistic things could be a key to ultimate happiness, I personally feel that without the joy of buying new things, life would be as boring as a colorless sea without waves. Shopping gives a sense of expression and defines your lifestyle. So, for the people who believe “When I shop, the world gets better”, we have come up with world’s best shopping destinations that should be on your list as you plan your vacation.
