'New' shopping mall

We're at the shopping mall that is close to our house. We can walk here in about 15 minutes (Xenne's pace and stroller dictated). The place has been here for 4-5 years already but we never really visited. They didn't have a supermarket and somehow we forgot about it.

Since it is 'summer' holiday (more like rainy season holiday but at school we western teachers still refer to it as summer holiday) we decided to walk over and have a look around. We hadn't been for quite some time and someone told us it now  had a supermarket and even a playground.

It turns out that that is all true. Even better, the playground is much bigger than the one at Ocean where we usually go. Ok, this one is $1,20 to get inside but you do have a fair bit of space to run around in, climb over, swing, and more. The supermarket is there too though it doesn't look terribly big. We;ll have a look around there a little later.

But best of all, there is also a small bookstore (with a few english titles in photocopy form but heck they cost next to nothing) and a good myanmar selection. Next to the bookstore is an internet cafe. And all that is on the same floor, just around the corner of the playground.

So now we have everything we want very close to our house. The walk here is also interesting and it is a walk through small streets. We encountered 2 bicycles and 1 car. So very easy to do with Xenne and Eaindra.
