My wife loves window-shopping. She loves walking up and down in front of shop windows, looking at the range of goods on display, especially in the new shopping centre, where there are a lot of boutiques selling their own designs. I prefer big department stores because all the best-known products are on sale, and usually in stock. If they are out of stock, the shop assistant can order them for you. Most of the chain stores have branches in our shopping centre. My wife only enjoys going there when they have the sales every year and she thinks she can find bargains.

Do you like window-shopping? Do you prefer department stores or corner shops, where the shopkeeper knows you and talks to you?
