Some people like to travel and try different places for shopping far from their residential areas. It also depends on their budget. Furthermore, when it comes to shopping I guess we women are more excited about this term. Am I right? It’s not mean that men don’t do that much shopping but we are more keen to do shopping. Therefore not everyone has the same taste when it comes to shopping. Everybody has different preferences. Some like turkey some like the UK some like America and some like Dubai. Usually, it depends on your choice of what you prefer or which place is more in your range. Some of us can’t even avail of these options in our whole lifetime. But few of us not only avail but enjoy these options for shopping. Every city or country has its own famous reasons. Hence some places are known worldwide for shopping.
