On Saturday we enjoyed a shopping trip to the (currently) fourth largest mall in the world, the SM Mall of Asia, which opened in May of last year in Manila. The mall is located close to Roxas boulevard, next to Manila bay, and features an IMAX theater, a skating rink and even a dolphinarium! Despite the fact that there are so many people in the mall, it somehow never felt too crowded. We enjoyed roaming around and having coffee in Starbucks afterwards.
The mall has 600 shops and 150 restaurants, and some 5,000 parking spaces. To give you an idea of how busy it actually is, it took us an hour to get from the sixth floor parking level to the front of the building at the end of the day (which was 22.00 hrs. in the evening). Menchie's good friend Mina brought us home to Novaliches afterwards, which was still another hour and a half drive away...
