There's a shopping in my neighborhood. There's a shopping downtown. There's even a brand-new shopping across the street from me. In Brazil shopping signifies mall. It becomes very confusing explaining the verb To Shop or to Go Shoppping when the verb itself is also the place where you go. The shopping is a Brazilian convention. Besides the adequate selection of English-named retail stores, ample top floor parking, there is always a bountiful food court where for some confounding reason people dine and imbibe as if the cafeteria were a chic restaurant. On weekends they surge, during the week they falter. The shoe stores are plentiful with overpriced sneakers that Brazilians lease as a result of their unaffordable prices. The clothing stores such as Beagle, Renner, or my personal favorite, Taco are reasonable and in addition have national comparable versions of Marshalls or Target. The shopping is convienient and evil simultaneously. I can't really talk though because I either cut through its shortcut on the way to work at least once a day, or patron it's hypermarket BIG that is owned by none other than walmart Brazil.

remember those shox... this photo is so similar to those lmao
Hey I still have those shox today! Remember I bought them and not even 5 minutes went by walking the steep slopes of Graça when they broke and I had to take them back to the Chinese guy who sold me them. Moral of the story. Don't buy shox on the street in front of the Bank.
