Shopping Spree! Win USD 100 on ShopWeShip.com

For non-Americans, Black Friday may require some explanation. You may already know that in the US, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. This year, that falls on November 24, 2011. (Click here for the first of many turkey guides on our blog). Black Friday is the name for the day after Thanksgiving, which marks the busiest shopping day of the year as well as the official inauguration of the Christmas season.

Imagine a day where stores open their doors as early as 4am (this year, several major retailers are starting out at midnight), and impatient shoppers wait in massive lines that snake into the parking lot. Does this sound like your greatest nightmare? Well, we forgot to mention its biggest draw: shopping deals and discounts beyond your wildest dreams. And now, even those of us living in Beijing can take advantage.

ShopWeShip.com, formerly known as Dong-xi.com, is giving one lucky reader the chance to win USD 100 of free international shipping credit. That means you can place orders on any shopping website and ShopWeShip.com will cover the international shipping fees. (Keep in mind that you’ll be responsible for any domestic shipping fees within the US. If you have any questions about the way the website works, check out our interview with its founder here or visit their website for more information.)

To be in the running for this prize, just post a comment below answering the following question: If you could receive any ship (real or fictional) for free, which ship would it be? The most original response will be announced as the winner this Friday at noon.
