Charity Shops in the UK are small shops which sell a variety of items donated by the public and the money made helps that charity to continue its valuable work. Charity shops are usually run by volunteers, people giving their time voluntarily to help the charity. Shopping in charity shops has many benefits, for the charity, and for the shopper! I like buying things in charity shops for many reasons which I am going to share with you. Firstly, items sold in charity shops are generally a lot cheaper than in high street stores. Yes, this is because they are used, but, having volunteered in a charity shop myself, I know that only really good quality items get put out to sell to the public. You can always find a bargain in a charity shop, from a new top to a pair of shoes, a handbag to a piece of jewellery. Secondly, if a charity shop has a lot of donations coming in, they generally change the stock on a daily basis, which means that there is always a variety of items to choose from. I’m always impressed that I can go into the same charity shop two days in a row and some of the stock will have been changed. Thirdly, you can find interesting treasures in charity shops. Especially when it comes to bric-a-brac items. There was once a very old fashioned sewing machine donated to the charity shop I volunteered in, and it was worth quite a bit of money, but it was sold the same day for five pounds! You will be very surprised with what you can find. Finally, knowing that the money you are spending in charity shops is going to a good cause is a great reason to shop there. There are many charities in the UK which rely on charity shops to fund what they do. The main ones in the UK are Sue Ryder Care which need money to keep their homes open, Cancer Research UK, the RSPCA and Oxfam. I would recommend shopping in charity shops, even very occasionally, because you never know how big a difference buying one small thing might make!

You might think that the topic of “taking the bus” is a weird one to choose for this blog. And you might be right but taking the bus in Latin America is always a fascinating experience. In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and, more often than not, a necessity. Public transport is often convenient when you live or work in the city centre, as you can avoid traffic jams by whizzing down the bus lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. At the end of the day, though, taking the bus is just a necessary and tedious part of life: you board the bus, pay the driver and sit down (or find a place to stand). Very boring. In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, intercity buses put on films so that you have entertainment for at least some of the journey. Naturally local transport does not show films but drivers usually switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear new songs and new styles of music. (Disappointingly there is not much salsa music back home). Even better than films or music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of town that you would not otherwise visit. There you see shops that you never knew existed. Visitors travelling on buses can see new aspects of a culture from the window seat of the bus. Passengers’ “luggage” is also interesting. It is not uncommon for a cheerful dog’s head to be poking out of somebody’s bag and for someone else to carry a chicken under their arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer tied what looked like a dead sheep to the roof. I was quite shocked and even more so when the farmer got off the bus and, on taking the sheep off the roof, it trotted off very happily. On top of the same bus, another passenger had put his chainsaw. The sheep and power tool combination had me very nervous. There are really many things for visitors to do in Latin America. Taking the bus doesn’t sound like fun but it is much more exciting and unpredictable than any UK bus journey.
(1)In the UK, taking the bus is fascinating.
