Mall in Palmy

The Mall here in Palmy is kinda small compared to the galleria however since it is full of stores I literally have never seen before it's kinda nice. Also, the majority of the stores are for women ages 19-30 so I've got a broad selection of clothing to choose from. It's an added bonus I was not anticipating. I am still wearing some clothes from high school and am beyond ready to graduate from my frumpy blue jean and t-shirt stage to something a little bit more feminine on some occasions. I'll always have ripped jeans and chuck t's but sometimes it's nice to dress nice. So since some of you girls have been asking I've posted pics of what's going on in NZ fasion. Ohh also, interesting fact, it is illegal in the mall for the people at the kiosks to hunt you down to try their products. That doesn't stop the ones on commission but at least it's not as bad as the galleria. Just a fun fact.

For the larger and curvier ladies they have all sizes

Cute business wear and the black dress on the left is stunning

I'm going to buy the dress on the right with my first pay check because it is awesome

thought of you sadie with these crazy patterned tights

a store that sells nothing but different types of chocolate, including dipping for you to eat there

EB Games is conveniently located in the food court next to McDonalds and some Sushi. win win sophia

Ug shopping

POO-Soft touch. Some jokes you just don't out grow

Today was learning the bus stop, trying to find my way around town in general, setting up PO boxes, ect. Very busy, kind of dull. I managed to find a few things like the "Family Store" and "the Warehouse" which is kind of like their version of walmart but like everything else here shopping wise for the home it is grossly overpriced and poorly organized. Disappointing. I would really love to have access to an IKEA store but they are not putting one in NZ under the guise that it would be so popular that it would cause major traffic problems. After looking around these past few weeks I would have to agree since the furniture and anything else for your home selection here is HORRIBLE and very overpriced. Of course I have now joined the petition to get IKEA in Auckland. Most people believe, and I agree with them, that the real reason there isn't IKEA is that it would destroy all it's competitors. Would it not cut down on traffic to have one larger store instead of driving around town twice to 5 little stores to accomplish the same task? ah well, I will make do. It is not the end of the world.
