Around the world

Around the world

Around the world

Shopping in big cities is an easy and also very enjoyable thing to do. There are many shopping centres or malls in the city centres. In these shops, goods are really nice and they are of high quality, but of course they are also expensive. If you don’t mind paying a little more, it is nice to go to those large shops because they are bright and comfortable. In some large shopping malls, you will also find some restaurants, supermarkets and cinemas. Not all the people in the shopping centre want to buy something; some come just to look around. They are only window shopping. Of course, if you don’t want to pay much money, you can go to the small local shops. People often call them convenience stores. You can buy almost everything there, and the price is usually quite reasonable and some of them are very cheap. So those convenience stores are usually very busy although often there is only one salesperson in the shop. He or she works as both shop assistant and boss. Isn’t that interesting?
