is really, really big.
This is the main portion which has six floors and then there are two other wings that each have four floors. Along with the bazillions of stores, there is a bowling alley, a movie theater, two hotels (I think) and a Walmart-esqe store.
If I weren’t with Josh, with his exceptional navigational skills, I totally would have gotten lost. There are several floors of underground parking and I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to find our car again. But I guess I could have eaten in the food court and spent the night in the hotel, so it wouldn’t have been too big a tragedy.
Camille was fussing and screeching so we bought her a bottle of water at Starbucks so I could give her a few sips to keep her happy. I wasn’t really comfortable with the idea of nursing her out in the open since I don’t know what is customary here. I was assuming a country where the majority of women cover their heads and necks wouldn’t be too accepting of possible nursing exposure.
See the Toys R Us sign behind me? We had to go buy our princess a cup to drink out of since she was loving the water. But then that novelty wore off so I did end up having to nurse her. No one seemed to notice or care. And as long as we were sitting in the food court, we had to eat something, right?
Nutella gelato. It was amazing. Chocolate with swirls of Nutella and pieces of hazelnut . . . mmm. Kris, I did not take a picture of myself nursing. She’s sleeping in this picture. You can stop being grossed out now.
Caleb made a telescope out of his cone. I love how he is holding his other eye closed so he can look through the hole he bit in the end of his cone.
Something that we’ve noticed about the shopping here is that even though a lot of women dress conservatively, the mannequins are not always so well covered. There was a store named “Sxy” that was certainly trying to be. I didn’t get a picture of that particular store, but here’s an example.
I guess no one cares if plastic people are practically naked?
Or if you prefer your nights to be spent a little more modestly you could choose one of these nightgowns instead.
And in the ironic category, this display of near-naked models was facing
these extremely well covered ones.
