 My experience of browsing a large shopping center

It was June 14, 2023. It was a sunny day in Barranquilla, Colombia. I was on my way to the Buenavista 2 shopping center. It’s my first time in this shopping center, so I’m a little lost. I walk in the front door and am blown away by the size of the place. There are stores of all kinds, from clothing and shoes to electronics and food. I take a moment to get my bearings and then start walking. After a while, I realice I can’t find the Nike store. I look on the map of the shopping center, but I can’t find it. I also ask several people, but none of them know where it is. I’m starting to get desperate. I need to find that store because I need to buy new shoes to play soccer in a championship. He walked back and forth, but couldn’t find anything. Finally, after half an hour of searching, I find the Nike store. It’s in a far hallway at the end of the mall. I feel relieved and enter the store. The store is large and very well organized. There are shoes of all types and models. I take my time to choose the shoes I want. Finally, I decide on a pair. I pay and leave the store.

The experience was a little frustrating at first, but I eventually managed to find what I was looking for. However, I think the experience could be improved if the mall had a clearer map.
