Yesterday afternoon I went shopping with one of my friend. I wanted to buy a yoga pants to wear when I do yoga. I knew a good yoga clothing brand was lululemon which was from my yoga teacher recommend. I checked the store’s address from app Dianping. There were two showrooms in Shanghai. Which one (was)is in Shanghai centre and another one (was)is in XTD. I knew the Shanghai centre showroom was close to my place so I decided to this store. I met my friend at 3:30pm in Jingan Kerry Center and we walked to Shanghai centre together. It was quite close. We found the store through asked someone. I told the seller what I wanted and she recommended me 3 suits. I tried them on and decided to buy one plants which was colorful and I didn’t have this kind of pants ever. I found the price on the card was 920 RMB, I asked the seller if this one had some discount, she tole me now the price was 820 RMB. I thought it was a little expensive but I really wanted it, so I decided to pay. After she scanned the card she told me now the price was 650 RMB. It was good news for me. So I bought a pant successfully.
