Shopping centres: 1 change of focus, 5 business opportunities!

To get to know someone is tricky. You have to introduce your self, chit-chat a bit and maybe be a bit funny. You have to make sure you don´t offend or make the other person angry and you have to listen and show interest. You have to do this several times and over time. But then, after a while, you will have a new friend and maybe that person will be in your life forever.
