Shopping In Chengdu
When I think back to the malls of America, one thing sticks out in my mind - PERSONAL SPACE. Except for those infamous times of year like Black Friday or 3 days until Christmas, malls in the suburbs generally provide more space than people. The malls in China, especially now during the back-to-school craze have more people than items of merchandise. So, when I went shopping on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30pm, I couldn't help but wonder why these people weren't at work!
Trying on skirts was fun. You wait your turn for a changing room. Your "turn" is when there are no more chinese people left to cut in front of you. The changing rooms don't have mirrors so you hve to come out to view yourself in the mirror. Once you've left the room other people go in and use it. Then you wait again in order to change back into your own clothes. It actually makes the process faster than usual (for me). Of course, this means my purchasing decisions are made that much faster and not always to the benefit of my bank account!
In truth, I feel lucky to have found something I liked (and in my size!) in Chengdu. Most of the merchandise has an Abercrombie and Fitch feel with Teletubby colors.
