Oct. 31st, 2008 12:04 amSo there's this new mall in town, and the opening was today. Or yesterday, since it's past midnight. Again. Since our teacher was apparently eager to go the minute it was opened (at 10 in the morning), our class was told to go spend two hours there and do a joke of an assignment (which seriously took like ten minutes to do) to compensate for it.
The mall is within a ten-minute walk from the campus, so naturally we walked. For about fifteen seconds. See, one of my classmates has this van, and he offered most of us a ride there. Anyway, he was riding with another classmate in the pasenger seat, and seven of us in the back, where there were no seats. Then we picked up two more classmates on the way there. It was a blast. And I think we reminded some onlookers of a clown car sketch when we all got out in front of the mall.
The place itself was.. less crowded than I'd have expected. It's a big mall, and even though apparently every teenage girl in Tornio/Haparanda was skipping classes to attend the grand opening, there was plenty of room to move about in. There was a celebrity speaker there (Marco Bjuström, for those who want to know), and one of my friends called out to him and he waved and said something like "hello there." I found that pretty amusing for some reason.
I spent about 30€ there; 24€ on new shoes and 3,90€ on an Arnolds smoothie. Yeah, they're expensive. And unlike the Five Dollar Milkshake in Pulp Fiction, they aren't really even "damn good" enough to warrant such a high price. (Incidentally, it occurs to me that 3.90 in euros is actually pretty close to five dollars.)
