Last weekend was very funny: first, I called my friend to go to the shopping and then we went to the bus stop to
take the bus, but when we arrived there, the bus had just gone and so we took a taxi. In the middle of the way,
the taxi broke down and we decided to go walking.
After about twenty minutes, we saw the shopping and when we crossed the street we noticed it had closed!!
The only thing to do: laugh and laugh a lot!!
