Foreigners shop till they drop

Falling U.S. dollar gives Canadians, Europeans super buys

NEW YORK - Glenn Branney didn't come to New York this week for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the Empire State Building or Central Park.

The 31-year-old tourist from Belfast, Northern Ireland, came to shop.

First, the Apple store, where he bought an iPod Touch and iPod Nano. Then Macy's, where he snatched up a bundle of coats, belts and wallets.

Branney was just one of many overseas visitors who descended on New York this weekend to partake in the post-Thanksgiving shopping scrum and take advantage of a very weak dollar.
