...I'm not brand-particular. I shop wherever something suits my style/budget/the occasion, etc. In fact, I prefer little boutiques with their own stuff over big, commercial brands. But that always takes a while to find in a new place.
And I'm more of a needs-based shopper than a compulsive shopper.
That said, no matter where I am, as long as I haven't scoped out new stores, it's always easy to go to the old reliables like Mango, Promod, Ninewest (for shoes), etc. What I noticed here, though, to my dismay, is that their stocks are 'modified' for the local markets. That's what got me a bit apprehensive.
The other reason I'm enquiring about the malls is, as I said to britexpat, that there isn't that much to do outside of them! Considering time is the one thing I have too much of now, I need to find nice places (cafes, restaurants, cinemas) to while my time away.
And of course, friends too, I hope! :)
