Last weekend my friend and I went to a huge new shopping mall.  We arrived early. But most of stores were crowded. I tried to ask for directions even I couldn't say exactly what I wanted. I know a lot of grammars but is my problem I haven't enough vocabularies. Because I got lost in the shopping mall, so I didn't know where am I.

I talked to a security officer. He explain me where was I and getting to where I wanted to go. Since I was a young child, I often got lost in large shopping areas. Because the officer he gave me a map, I could find my way around. 

I was surprised to see the shopping mall during the holidays. Because there is much decoration, and crowded.   Not only is hard to find parking, but eating place also. In spite of the crowded, we found some good buys and bought several things. We were walking around for a while. After we went home.

We were glad to get home and decide never to go there on the weekend again. We rather shop late on week days than getting stuck in weekend crowds again
