This is a very big and fancy Mall. Major brands have their own stores and some have stores within stores, in other words some stores have their own representatives for their own brands.

So I have this thing for make and this is a top 5 in the country based on size. It was nice, a few escalators out which was surprising. The food court was very unimpressive too especially how it feels like it's in a basement.
