Georg's travel journal – USA 2007
#62 – last minute shopping.

on a mission.

A trip to the mall, for the last time during my stay in the US this time around. One can buy whatever in all those shops spread over 4 floors, but I was on a mission, so all the offerings didn't distract me.

Maybe someone back home in Norway is wondering what I was doing in a particular shop…

… oh well, she said I got it about right, so I guess that means it was a somewhat successful mission.

A mall is like a magnet – drawing everyone in a wide area in (and killing off other businesses in the area in the process). It is often practical to have everything one may need under one roof, but I'm not sold on the idea.

Sure, we have them in Norway too, but I'm not a frequent mall-goer. It doen't really matter where I go to shop, as I'm not a typical consumer and am having problems finding what I want in the quality I want it, no matter what. It's a personality-thingy, I guess.

naturally delicious.

Sure, dairy products are naturally delicious – especially if they are naturally produced all way through. Can't really check the production-chain around here, as all is brought in by trucks and put on shelves labeled with generally meaningless and uncontrollable declarations. Whole milk tasted ok though.
