Today I went to the Mall of Asia, the largest shopping mall in the Philippines and one of the largest in the world. Its hard to describe just how big it is. The 650 shops and 150 service and dining establishments are located on two floors over a massive area occupied by 4 buildings with interconnecting walkways. Outside and inside there is of course a massive car park with spaces for 5,000 vehicles (source wikipedia). Walkways from the second floor take you outside for an impressive view of Manila bay, especially if you can catch a sunset. Alas I am visiting in the rainy season and its been too cloudy on a night for a decent sunset photo.
This was my first time to see a Philippines supermarket, although in the case of the Mall of Asia its a Hypermarket. Prices are far cheaper than I'm used to back home in Britain. 330cl 5% San Miguel beer was about 25p a can. Pringles are half the price and Pizza flavour is still available (what happened to it in Britain?). I bought Starbuck's for a fraction of the price (although there was about a 20 minute wait to be served). There's also a wide variety of exotic fruits. And fish too, so fresh they are swimming in a tank ready to be chosen!
