Day 7: Shop Till You Drop!
June 7th, 2012
Shopping day! Jess has been dying to take me to her favorite shopping mall in the city, Centro Sambil! This mall has an area of 250,000 square meters, and it has five levels to it. It has more than 500 hundred shops! It also has a terrace, a gallery which has works from the Jacobo Borges museum, an aquarium, and numerous eating establishments such as 14 fast-food outlets, a romantic restaurant, and a cybercafe. Jess told me that since it is such an attractive place to visit, she’s heard many shop owners complain that people are going to sightsee rather than to shop!
We spent a majority of our day here, going in almost every shop that looked like it had something interesting in it. I bought some new clothes for myself and some souvenirs to bring back to Alaska. I also secretly bought Jess a birthday present while she was preoccupied with some shoes. Her birthday is in a little over a week so might as well get her something now before I forget! After all that shopping, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at one of the fast food places and headed home with our newly bought items.
