hi shhheila, When I was in my college days I used to spend hours on bookstores as if I'm researching in a library. But when I've finished my degree I was somewhat allergic to books...lol. The thing is why should I go out for books when I always have the internet at home if I need to learn something. And so when I'm out in a mall I usually go to boutiques and groceries. Good Day!

I wish I could spend hours at the bookstore. But the owner and workers there gotten really mad at me for just standing around reading. So I don't go to bookstores and stand around. lol. I do enjoy going to thrift store and seeing all the stuff they have. Most of the time I just browse and don't buy anything.

yah i agree with that, some stores have strict policies like no standby no reading allowed in this area, there was one bookstore here, they have a reading area where u can read the books not by buying them... if u want you can buy it, hehehe... thrift stores are the best too, it is much cheaper and you can find rare books that are hard to find.

Há man! Book stores are great, I love going there too, but sometimes I get disappointed if I don't see some books I wanna see(and buy, why not?). I like music stores too.

I used to go to shops like Booksale and browse through their books. I especially like finding children's books there. For my love of books, I also found a small shop where they sell second hand books by best selling authors that I personally like. What I liked about it best was that they have lots of books by Agatha Christie and they are selling it at a much cheaper price compared to the bookstores in the mall. Quality may not be the best but it's the book that I am after. I've still got them with me and read them from time to time.

I enjoy going to a toy store, in the candy shop section. It makes me feel like a kid looking at candies on the shelf. My second favorite is the bookstore, i can hang out there all day but nothing compared to the joy and excitement i feel when i am at the candy shop. I cant find here a giant candy store like they have abroad. I wish we will have here soon, selling different kind of candies.

There are three types of stores that I love to go to: 1. Technology stores like the now-defunct Circuit City, Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. I love technology that much, I felt like a kid in a candy store when I have enough money. 2. Book stores such as Books-A-Million, Borders, B. Dalton Bookstores, Barnes and Noble, etc. Not just paper books because those types are taking up room in my room and starting to clutter up my living space. Those that sell ebooks along with giving free ones also work fine. 3. Comic book stores that sell anime (Japanese animation) and manga (Japanese comics). Same with book stores, DVDs and paper comics take up space in my room, but I still go there for other reasons to buy Japanese snacks and drinks like Pocky and Ramune.

I too love book stores although a favourite book store of mine closed down quite a few years ago. I feel restricted now to buying all my books online. I do like the idea of spending some time in a book store going through different books. There's another kind of store that I absolutely love and that is a gadget store! I love technology and gadgets. Gadgets can be quite expensive but there's nothing wrong with going to a local store and seeing what's out there. If money was no object then I would purchase every single gadget as and when it became available. Andrew

I usually visit these store whenever I go out: 1 - Book store. I love to browse around. Even if I don't buy anything, it feel nice to be surrounded with books. 2 - Tech stores. New gadgets. Latest application. I want to check and see something new. I might not afford to buy one but I love to check. 3 - Sushi! It's pretty expensive to eat them always so I will buy a set sometime.

Hi shhheila, oh if you ask me i would go to a music store anytime! I just love it there, like to see new albums and new bands and all, it is fun to have a look and come out without actually buying any of those stuffs!... i just like to reserve some cd's for the next time. have a nice day shhheila!

That's a fun question to answer: Music instrument stores, no doubt. I LOVE the small of a new guitar whether it'd be a Fender strat, Les Paul, trying out new keyboards and stuff, and chatting with the people there. Almost a shame it's too easy to leave your money in those place, though.. like when I was $3,000 poorer when I walked out the door, but oh so happy :) I also enjoy visiting gadget stores selling all kind of weird thing normal people would never have in their house.

I love going to the big department stores that have food courts like Harrods as I could spend hours there looking at all the foods that they display and trying all the stuff that they offer(free lunch, even better). Also when I go on holiday I always go round the supermarket to see what type of food that they have compared to what I am used to. I am a foodaholic and could spend all day wondering around food stores!!

Your favorite kind of store is the exact same kind of store that is my favorite. I love the book store. We have a Half Priced Books not too far from our house and that is absolutely my favorite store because they have almost any book that I am looking for and I am able to save money on buying them as well. My children even like going to this store with me and behave very well because there are so many different kinds of books for them as well as for me.

My favourite type of store is a clothes store. I just love clothes and bags and shoes I could stay there all day. If I did I would have probably sold my house, my family and everything else by the end of the day :D just to shop. I actually have to stay away from our shopping center at the moment because I am so broke :(

I like to go to many different kinds of shops when I go shopping. i also enjoy book stores, but I think my favorite store would be a thrift store. you never know what you will find there. Prices are incredible as well.
