Shopping.........the national sport

If you like shopping this is the place for you. Unfortunately, Terri has us three guys who can tolerate no more than an hour a week. Three of the world's largest malls are in the Philippines. The Mall of America, if you have ever been, is number 17 on the list.


So, last week we went to the Mall of Asia. Four and a half million square feet of retail space. For those back home, I think the Parks Mall has a little over a million. It is right on Manila Bay. Not a bad view.
There are so many stores it is overwhelming. Most of the stores in these malls are very very small. Some are no more than 15 feet across and maybe 25-30 feet deep. Of course, there are some department stores. With this many stores, they obviously run out of names for them.

I saw where the $$ has appreciated 14.1% this year - so does that mean you can spend 14.1% more pesos?
