Ocean Terminal

So our hotel changes the carpet in the elevators every single day.  How do I know this odd tidbit of information?  They freaking label the carpets so you KNOW that they change them every day. 

What is the purpose of this?  So you don't forget what day of the week it is while you are in the elevator?  So you can keep track of how may days you have left in the hotel?  Just for the hell of it?  

Our plan for the day was to go to the ICC Building's Sky100 deck so that we could see a cool view of the city.  But we got stuck in a mall all day instead.  This mall was so huge.  I might still be in that mall.  I'm not even sure.  

On the way to the mall we spotted this car:  

There are wedding ducks attached to the front. 

So we wandered around this seemingly endless mall for hours.  We were trying to get to Ocean Terminal, which is a really super huge mall with a Toys R Us in it (we were mainly going to for the Toys R Us)  but once we arrived in the vicinity of it we discovered that it is part of a super mall that is created by several huge malls conglomerating together to form a super mall.  It's kinda like those Power Rangers that morph into the big dude except in mall form.  

While wandering around the mall we ran into the is crazy Chinese Chuck E Cheese type place:

Pretty much all of the stores were stupidly expensive brands like Chanel, Gucci, Prada, etc.  My dad and I wandered into a clothing shop where we discovered a $1400 Hong Kong Dollar T-shirt (that's $200 US dollars.) and a hoodie that was about $400 US dollars.  

Back in the area by the Toys R Us there were about a billion designer kids brands.  Burberry Children, how absurd.  But we did wander into this Imagination toy store were we found this:

It's a bee evolution toy, kids!  Play with your bee from egg to larva to whatever else the stages are called.

After walking around several of these stores we can't afford anything in we all got super tired, fatigued and cranky.  So we went to Strawberry Forever, a dessert cafe to sit down and replenish our blood sugar.   

We eventually escaped Ocean terminal and headed back to some more normal type malls by our hotel.  To give you an idea of how big this crazy mall was:

This is just the Ocean Terminal part.  it takes up an entire freaking pier and there were at least 6 more buildings connected to it that were all MALL.

In one of the more normal malls by the hotel I did find this totally not normal thing:

It's the world's most giant soup bun.  And a spoon.  In a clothing shop.  What.

Also we found this lovely display.  Yay China!
