I have been wanting to blog about this but where does the time go? THE MALL is the center of Aussie outer suburban life. I don't mean the social center like people go there to hang and look cool, it really is where everything is! EVERYTHING! Target, Grocery-Woolworths is a big one here, cell phone stores, Department stores, sporting goods stores, Electronic Store (Dick Smith...really thats the name), butcher, baker, candle stick maker, in our mall there are 19 places to get your hair did or your nails filled, you get the drift. In So you would probably assume it keeps long hours since everything every human needs is contained inside, as Colin says..NOPE!
The "Centre Trading Hours":
M, T, W F 9:00-5:30 better not have a job and work during the day and need something MTWF, better send your partner if that's the case!
TH is the big day and the place is jumpin 9-9
Sat 9-5
Sun 10-4
To their credit the grocery stays open late and keeps long hours, everyone else runs home when the street lights come on. The Aussies have yet to make shopping a sport or at the very least a national passtime, VIVA America in this department!
Your Partner: Your partner here is anyone you are romantically involved with, hetero or homosexual. This really threw both of us for a loop at first when people asked me what my partner did? I thought great, I am trying to make new friends and they think I am gay, they are probably thinking well that explains the twins, you know science mustav' been involved. great! awesome! Well, upon further investigation it just means the person you bunk up with at night, your flavor is not a factor!
