Default the place i hate most...

I am gearing myself up to go to the Mall of the Emirates...I hate it.
I get lost because it is too big.I am completely crap with my sense of direction.If it was at home,I would be one of those people on the loud speaker..."if anyone has lost an idiot wearing a black t-shirt and jeans,she is here at the information desk".
Is it just me?

I am the same. I hate the place as I always get lost. A few weeks back I spent about 40 mins tryng to find L'Occitane, and I could see from the map that I was very near it, I just couldn't find it. I asked a Security Guard who didn't speak very good English and didn't understand me. I felt like I was about to cry, so I gave up.

I used to find it pretty daunting too, I could never tell which end was Ski Dubai and which end was Carrefour!

Now I shop there way too much so I know it like the back of my hand Going for a massage, mani and pedi there this afternoon to prepare for the weekend frolics, bliss...

Well, if you are in the middle at the back, Carrrefour is to your right, and Ski Dubai is to your left....

PS. Your right hand is the one you write with, unless you are left handed of course....

Yes but when you've been shopping and walking around for a while it can be very disorientating especially when your judgement is clouded with thoughts of which shoes to buy!!!
