Large Shopping Mall [CEBU CITY, Philippines]
What da wow! This mall is H-U-G-E! This is a super mall claiming to be the 4th largest mall in the world! Now that's impressive. SM Seaside located in Cebu has everything -- Shopping, Dining, Entertainment, Movies, and Services. I thought I was back in the U.S. when I saw retail stores like American Eagle, Columbia Sportswear, Cotton On, Crocs, Footlocker, H&M, Guess, Levi's, M·A·C, Miniso, Oakley, The North Face... they still have an Esprit store ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
... and food franchise stores like Auntie Anne's, Burger King, Cinnabon, Dominos Pizza, Dunkin' Donuts, Gong Cha, KFC, Krispy Kreme, Sbarro, and, of course, Starbucks!
Mom and I were looking for souvenir shops and found some at a store called Island Souvenirs. An employee was very helpful in finding the right sizes for us when we were shopping for novelty shirts. We also found Kultura, a franchise souvenir shop (I love this store).
I found some stores with clever names: John Lemon (juice bar), Belle Lumiere -- characters from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" (aesthetic salon), and Eye Browse (optical).
They have bowling, ice skating, and movies for entertainment. SM Seaside is one of the biggest malls in Visayas and the largest shopping mall in Cebu City. The mall has five (5) floors with over 700 stores!! 12 of them are anchor stores.
The Philippines has some of the biggest malls! So crazy! My only complaint... they should have more electronic floor maps of the mall sprinkled everywhere... you know, like ones that point on the map "You are here" because it's so easy to get lost here.
