My experience is that the shopping malls are basically the same in each of these countries. Quite big and bussy with different shops and it takes hours just to go through even if you skip several little shops of no interest.
I do not deny the fact that it is good to go out sometimes from your home to break the monotony of everyday life. But I think that shopping is made a lot more easy online. With the help of the search buttons, you browse through only those products you are interested in, and you can skip the items of no interest without having to pass by them in the mall, saving valuable time.
No doubt, if you have no idea what are you looking for the mall can be the best place for you to wonder around waiting for something to catch your eyes.
But if you know exactly what are you looking for and it falls into any of the following categories:
books
music
electronics
home & garden
and more
