What are they doing?
Well, in general, I have to say that I'm really keen on shopping. Particularly, I'm really into online shopping. The reason for this is that online shopping is more convenient and takes less time than shopping in stores or malls.

If it's a simple case of going in, getting things I want, and then getting out again, then I'm a big fan. Otherwise, I'm really not thrilled about being dragged around a million stores to window-shop, to be honest. It seems like a massive waste of time.
I prefer to shop on the internet because online shopping offers many advantages over traditional shopping. First and foremost, we can buy anything through the net without going to crowded marketplaces and it’s a hustle free process.
