Dear Malls of Dubai,

Every so often, I take the perilous journey to one of the various shopping malls dotted around town. Of course, finding a parking space is about as miraculous as a second Immaculate Conception, but I remain hopeful at all times. If I do manage to find a spot for my car and then saunter into the mall, I am overwhelmed by a tidal wave of people scurrying around the mall. And do you know why people scurry instead of walking? It's because there's no freaking place to walk around properly - there are so many kiosks scattered around the mall, that it's like trying to navigate a retail minefield. I'm sorry, but I don't need to buy knives, roasted nuts, sweets, muscle powders, zipper handbags, cheap wallets, belts, real estate, or the other shit that's in the way. Why can't everyone just rent out one huge store in the mall and call it "Random Crap"?

Sincerely,

A concerned shopper
