Robinson Mall
Malls are a big part of life in most large Asian cities.
Walking around in these huge air conditioned buildings is a great way to escape the heat or rain and huge crowds gather in the evenings and on weekends to eat at the food courts.
Name brand clothing tends to be quite expensive and the food courts are not all that cheap either.
Some of the Japanese and Korean Restaurants have good seafood but a lot of it is deep fried.
The food courts seem to be in a competition for who can get the “Most MSG Award” but they are a big hit with the local crowd.
Digital photos shops can print a bunch of pictures in less than a half hour.
It is a nice gesture to get some made up for some of the people that you have photographed that would otherwise never get a picture of themselves.
I am not really a mall person but it is easy to see how some people can spend the day there.
Music blares from the shops and the sheer volume of people can make it very loud.
