WOW … I have never seen a shopping mall this big before … the Menlyn Mall was HUGE.  Apparently, speaking with locals this is not the largest mall in SA … in fact there is one in Cape Town which is supposed to be even bigger (I don’t know how it could be bigger).  To put it into perspective for the Brisbanites … it would probably be about double … if not triple the size of Chermside shopping centre.  I have taken a couple of pictures of the skateboard ramp; I have never been to a shopping centre that has a skate ramp on its fourth floor.

Reflecting on our time in the mall, I have to admit … as strange as this may sound … I didn’t really like it all that much.  Sure, the size of it was impressive but it just seemed to be the same types of shops just with different names.  Give me the range of products in a Bulawayo shop any day J
