After an hour and a half run at 7am this morning with some of the ladies at Lakefront, Matt and I got the bus all the way into the city to explore some of the cities best malls. Shopping again I hear you cry... well, in my first post I was so impressed with how little i managed to bring with me. And now I live in regret, knowing how many clothes are at home and the school would have paid for an extra bag - livid!! Anyway - first world problems and all that... but basically did not bring out enough 'business dress' and we have a 2 day course in town at a posh hotel which requires this at the end of next week!!

Parc Central mall was easily reached on the bus from us and we met a lovely lady on there who just wanted to practise her English and spoke to us the whole way there!! This mall was the nicest out of the 2 in this area; a bit more high end but still had Hollister, H&M, Zara etc. And was a lot less crowded than Grand View Mall.

This one was HUGE and has a aquarium in and to be honest, was a bit too much to handle!! You should not be queuing for an escalator for more than a minute, no matter how good the clothes! Had a lovely little offer of a drink and a mini burger at a cute restaurant on the way out though which was a nice cheap (Western) treat! Ended up getting all our smart things ready for the course next week though - so all in all a success and nice to explore more of what the city has to offer!!
