DAY 3 (:

Reflections for day 3.

Breakfast at the hotel was fantastic. It consisted of highly delectable food and was quickly snapped up.

Then we went to a local shop to buys things back for our parents and relatives. There were special cookies and tea sold as a local product. Even though the prices were abit higher than expected but we thought that it was worth it as it was for our parents.

After that, we went to a local shopping mall named JUSCO and shopped there for about 3 hours.

Spending 3 hours in the malaysia shopping centre, I discovered the pros and cons of the shopping centre. Th pros? They had immaculate service there, friendly staffs with genuine smiles and they do not hover. In this way, we felt alot more comfortable shopping for stuff and had a plesant time there. However, there were a lack of signs in the centre and there was quite a number of dead ends, for tourists like us, we wasted quite alot of time finding our way around. There was also a lack of variety and liveliness in the mall which usually creates a vibrasnt atmosphere which is apparent in many prestigious shopping malls. The products in the mall were also cheaper compared to Singapore but there was hardly anything that could attract us, as there was a lack of variety to choose from and it was rare to find trendy things. Thus, most of us went back empty handed. Yet, this did not dampen our lively sprits. Thought we enjoyed this learning journey, we were slightly disappointed by the lack o shopping materials. Good retail therapy results from abundant variety, and there was a lack of that in the mall. Other than that, the time spent shopping with fun shopping partners and friends was hardly boring. It was brilliant, fantastic and awesome. (:
