Philippines - Shopping

SM Mall of Asia

To all those Shopaholics (term give to people addicted to shopping) I present to you the home of some of the largest malls in the world. One Mall in particular is the "SM MALL OF ASIA" or also known by locals, "MOA".  More than just a shopping mall, the SM Mall of Asia is a tourist destination that has raised the bar of shopping standards.The SM Mall of Asia is ranked 4th largest in the Philippines and 11th in the world which opened in 2006 attracting a daily average foot traffic of an estimate of 200, 000 people.

With over 600 retail stores including 217 being dining establishment, this is paradise for all shopping addicts. Based on my personal experience, SM Mall of Asia was so big, that I only got to circulate the first two floors. Additionally , they provide free internet within the mall  allowing people to "check in". You can start off you day  by coffee by Starbucks, shoe shopping followed by an exquisite Asian buffet and then finish it off with a nice relaxing movie in the cinemas all inside the Mega mall.
