A nice trip
A nice trip
Last Friday, I had a nice trip with my classmates and my English teacher to go shopping in Honest Ed's.
Honest Ed's has Sixty-Fifth Anniversary sale. All sorts of wares were discounted, some of them were 25
cents only, they were very cheap and interesting.
I bought something for my daughter, e.x., poker, stamp for date, etc.
I like this old store and enjoying the different culture in Toronto.
