You have your own attitude towards going shopping by yourself. What is it? I HATE SHOPPING! Shopping is the most boring and hateful process to me. Most of all I hate doing shopping at  large malls, because I always end up  being lost somewhere.There are a few things I like to buy, and Its musical stuff, such as a new strings for my guitar. I think, that there is no any wrong thing, If someone doesnt like shopping. I GO SHOPPING BY MYSELF. I have a free hand in a shops for artists. I believe that lots of time spent in a moll is  a waste of time. I wouldn't say, that I despise shopaholics,but  there are lots of places I rather go,than large shopping mall. I also dont like markets because of noise. I LIKE SHOPPING BUT I dont like measure clothing for a long period of time.   When I come home afterwards, I feel myself bored and tired. Usually I do shopping with my mum. Shopping is an importent process of nowadays life, but still, not the most importent. Most of all I dont understand people, who can disappear in markets for a half of the day. I think, people shouldn't be so crazy about shopping.
