sm mall of asia

at the insistence of my mom, we went to the sm mall of asia on opening day - actually we went there late afternoon (around 5-ish). i have to say going there on opening day, it didn't quite look like the above because i think half of the people in metro manila decided to check it out. i don't know if the carparks were not opened yet or there were just sooooo many people out there that day that cars literally parked through all of the streets near the mall.

we found a parking spot about 2 blocks away and walked to the mall with jacob in tow. whooah, it wasn't the parking lot that was packed but the whole mall literally. all of the restaurants in sight had lines to the door and if you were starving, you would have started hallucinating waiting for your turn at the ordering counter. we stayed probably about 30mins or so just walking and wandering around.

the mall is actually quite nice, it was big and spacious but i didn't really see anything new with what little i saw of the mall. same old shops, same old restaurants. well, there's the olympic sized ice skating rink and the first iMAX theater in the country. i'd probably enjoy visiting this mall next time when there's less than a hundred thousand people in it.
