I usually come home from school around 6 and my bus stops at a large 3 story shopping centre.
Great, time to kill, wander around and browse - not!
All the stores close at 5 every day except Thursdays. That's right, they're not even open Friday night!
Grocery stores, Woolworths (yes, you read it right) and KMart are open until 9 most evenings but nothing else. Oh and yes they do have Target here but not with the same American products.
I don't know what teenagers here do for part-time jobs. Perhaps their need to shop is less than Canadians as they all wear school uniforms.
The other night I was walking through the empty mall and there were two gaming stores full of young men playing games at tables?!

Hi Cynthia,
Great post/blog - not too sure how I stumbled across it ...the web is a wonderful thing...
just out of interest ...what makes you say 'the athletes foot' would go down well in the US as a brand name? ...humour ...or some sort of special stigma? I wonder if thats it..
plus what are you studying that has brought you to the other side of the world?
have a great day
cheers, patrick
Patrick and other non-Americans. Athlete's Foot is the (North American) name for a fungus found on the soles of your feet. If you have it you are not to walk barefoot in public places etc.
No suprise that I am studying public health eh?
