Shopping in Saudi Arabia and in the States

I have found a big difference between the shopping in Saudi Arabia and the United States. The shifts or the business hours of the markets. Markets and the malls in Saudi Arabia have two shifts of every work day. One of them starts from the morning until noon and the other starts from afternoon until eleven at night, so they have time of lunch during the time which is between the two shifts. They close at the time of prayer for a half hour. In contrast, Markets in the U.S. have just one shift; it starts from the morning until nine at night. Some owners of markets take little time to have lunch and dinner, one hour for each. In both countries Saudi Arabia and the States you are able to shop online. By the internet you can buy whatever you want to such as electronics and all of the products which have selling in the regular stores. You just choose the product that you want to buy and the pay them with visa, after few days the product which you have bought will be shipped to your home.
