  1. I go for shopping in main market not just to buy something for me but to explore new varieties and new stuff. Going to market gets you an idea to the price hike and by visiting different shops you can buy required stuff at a minimal cost. Shopping is fun and many times you get the beautiful decorative stuff to decorate your home. Visit to market gives you knowledge about current trends, fashion. Above all shopping requires much of your time and obviously with babies it is tough for me to go for shopping.

  2. I like shopping because it makes me feel good. Shopping will make me happier and it can restores my mind. I usually go shopping twice a month, because I’m busy with my studies, shopping is just a hobby for me. The shopping center near me is very boring, unlike kl’s shopping center, because the place I live is underdeveloped region. The worst thing about going shopping is the service attitude of the waitress,she is rude and she has ruined my day.
