At the Big Shops.

Every time I head into the suburbs to the ‘big shops’ (aka a big shopping centre/mall) I seem to come back with some story to blog about or some people watching event to ponder. It all seems to happen in the food court too…. ah the food court, such a melting pot of life. So [...]
