Hi friends,
I have had a busy week as one of my cousins visited Bahrain to spend some time with me.

The first thing she asked after settling down was to take her shopping. For the next few days, we spent much of our time in the malls (I think I am now qualified to write a guidebook about shopping in Bahrain). 
During the shopping spree, I discovered that malls are full of people who spend a lot of time without buying anything. This category includes people from all ages, races and nationalities. Even if you consider them as genuine buyers, I don’t think that the money they manage to save is worth the time they waste for it. If we spend more time than money in the market, I would call it window-shopping.
Some people are of the opinion that window-shopping is a recreational activity and people go to malls to spend their leisure time. There is another view that it is a psychological phenomenon, which happens when your desires do not match your resources.
I don’t know which of these interpretations is correct. Let me know if you have the right answer?
Bye,
Syeda Maria
