Last day we went to a club to play a game. They give us a story and then we need to find something, and last day the topic was prison break. I think that was very easy and when we found the key or something it was very easy to get it. My friend thought the game was very interesting but I don’t think so. Maybe it’s very boring to me, because when we finish the game, we had a summary when we finished the game. Last day the summary i think was very boring – just 1, 2, 3, 4 but last week we had a game. The summary was… the topic was 7 sins. I think I pay money for story, for the game, and then I think I need to get something from the story so the first game I think I learned new knowledge but the 2nd game I don’t think I get point. My friend they want to play but OK I’m not happy so I follow them. I think money is very hard and we need to use to better things.
