Goat Malling ( Not Mauling )

Not wishing to be disingenuous ( politically correct ) or less than candid ( goat correct ) i will state up front that this " old goat " is not big on hanging out in shopping malls or malling as they say . Growing up in the American pasture we had lots of them of course but like many male goats you went to a mall if you had too .   :-)

Speaking in generalities here but based on this goats experience males go shopping to buy something and women go shopping to look for hours and " maybe " buy something .  :-) Well , you can just throw that description out the window here in the Philippines because  hanging out at a mall in this pasture can border on being an occupation .   :-) 

Since this is an opinion piece i will opinionate ( goat word ) fully realizing that yours ( opinion ) may be different that mine . Yes , malls offer lots of shopping venues at one location though some argue that it might as well be different locations with all the walking one does . No need to mention the distance from the parking lot to the mall may require a tram ticket , at least in some cultures . 

Parking distance to the stores is not such a big issue in these mall pastures as many folks here arrive as Charlie Tuna ( packed into a sardine like vehicle where the rule of thumb is if it's designed for 12 cram 16 in it ) .  :-) So , why the muss and fuss to go wear out your footwear in the first place ? Because there are two things certain about Philippine pastures .

Goats born into this culture of all ages , but especially the young ones ,  have an insatiable desire to " see , and be seen " . Might call it the cultures method of " kicking the can " . Don't much matter if you buy anything cause it's got it's own air - con , lots of pretty goats strolling around and  should you choose to spend you certainly can without to much trouble .

All of which leads up to the reason for this post in  the first place : providing some more goat locations nearby where one can go to kick the can . Be  advised , however , that being an " old goat " not being particularly mall obsessed my personal experience is limited . I will , however , provide you with some links so as you can go look for yourself .

Next Post i will share some observations starting  with my favourite mall pasture Limketkai  .
