FAVORITE PLACE

CINEMARK: MY FAVORITE PLACE

I feel happy when my friend call me and ask me to go out with him. I really enjoy spending time together because He knows that I’m a big fan of movies and we go to Cinemark in Jockey Plaza located in Santiago de Surco. I think it’s a fantastic movie theater because the auditorium is big, clean and there are rows of comfortable padded seats also the service attendants are really kind, they will help you in all what you need. It’s a modern place where you could spend a good time with your friends or family. I would like to go there at least once a week.
