Last weekend I visited my best friend in London, which was supposed to be excited. Melina, whom I have not seen her for three years, offered to take me on a sighting tour by car. Unlucky, she ended up doing everything but that! First, she showed me around the building where she had gotten her first job. Then she drove me to café where she had met her first boyfriend . Before I could say everything, she smiled at me and said she wanted to take me to another place where was special to her. I was very disappointed when we got on the place where she had bought her car! Besides, she kept talk about herself all day long! I was fed up with it, so I couldn't make her stop. When she finally decides to call it a day, she turned around and found me asleep!
