Its name was simply 'the Mall'.<br /><br />I guess now you have many other supermalls around the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22408198.post-31837053831973091172007-01-08T16:45:00.000+00:002007-01-08T16:45:00.000+00:00Hi Edwin,

Also they are not busy :).<br /><br />Bath has probably not changed as much as you think. I actually work in Bristol which has been changing much more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553675424803911693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22408198.post-23945762246118481792007-01-08T16:22:00.000+00:002007-01-08T16:22:00.000+00:00Chris, that was a great experience!
I have actual...Chris, that was a great experience!<br /><br />I have actually been thinking of doing what you are doing: go to a Chinese store and talk to those people to practice my speaking. But I need to find one that is not busy, and the people inside are willing to talk to me even if they know I am not buying anything. It could be difficult here in Toronto.<br /><br />Another problem is that here the stores are usually owned by Cantonese speakers. Mandarin speakers are usually employees. So it does not look good for them to chit-chat with me for a long time.<br /><br />I used to visit Bath often when I was studying in the University of Bristol. It was more than 10 years ago. I bet the city has changed a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
