I bougth a new game console, the price was in 2000 mexican pesos. I buogth many games, one aditional control and a memory card for it. I was selecting some clothes for my sister. I choose one swater , For this swater I payed 250 mexican pesos. It was nice and was blue!.

But I cant advise that the car was parking in a wrong place. The police officer pickup my car and when i returned, my car was gone. :(

I had to found it in the parking lot of the police.

I had to wait one day more :P

The debt was 570 mexican pesos. :( That day was unexpected!

    When I went shopping, I was looking for some shoes, but decided to by some trainers(sports shoes). The price was good because they were so comfortable! I bought a new games console, the price was 2000 Mexican pesos. I bought lots of games, one additional control ... I chose one sweater. It cost 250 Mexican pesos. It was a nice blue one! I hadn't noticed that the car was parked in the wrong place. The police officer had picked up my car so when I returned, my car had gone. I had to find it in the police parking lot. I had spent all my money in the market, also I did not have all the documents with me at that moment to transmit the pass out! (thanks my friends for reading this! :) That was a fantastic effort!! well done!! I have corrected the sentences that had misakes. Just compare them! Well done 007!!
