Vamos às compras ?

Grande parte da população mundial, principalmente nas zonas urbanas e nos paises mais desenvolvidos, não conseguem passar sem a tradicional visita ao centro comercial.

Existem de todas as cores e feitios, de todos os tamanhos e caracteristicas, mais ou menos especializados.

Eu não passo sem a minha visita diária. ;-)
