It was a lot of fun, my first Apple Store opening experience. Have seen a lot of youtube and MacForum videos of other store openings around the world, but never the same experience as being there. When I came outside talked briefly to the Boots Store Manager, who are next door to Apple. He was saying that it was going to be good for all the other stores in The Mall, that Apple was now there.
It was priceless seeing the faces of the other shoppers, who had come to do some christmas shopping, who had no idea what was going on as bands of Apple store employees came out cheering and clapping.
