Essay 2-01b: My favorite place

       Do you have your own favorite place? My favorite place is Mall Of America. It’s the biggest shopping mall in the U.S. which is located in Bloomington. Many races are gathered in this place and I surprised this scale. This stay was a first stay for me in the U.S. and it was a home stay program for one month.
       First, I’ll tell you what is Mall Of America. It is a big shopping mall I haven’t ever seen. I spent there all day in the last day of this program. This facility’s scale is bigger than Disney land! Can you imagine it? I haven’t seen such a big shopping mall, so it made me excited. This mall has some hotels for people who wanted to enjoy shopping all day, so they can stay at these hotels. Actually, we can’t look around all of shops because it has 520 stores, 50 restaurants and many exciting attractions! It’ll be exhausted our foots, so  I think it’s very convenient system for customers.
       Shopping was so fun in this mall. I went around many stores with my friends. We dropped into Forever21, H&M, Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie&Fitch and so on. We bought a lot of clothes and accessories cheaper prices than Japan. There were many choices to buy, so we couldn’t decide quickly. I remember that we trying on clothes in each store every time. We can’t count how many clothes we say “Nice!” It was so funny. At the same time, we found same stores which are also in Japan. It was interesting to find how difference in the U.S. and Japan. Time was past so past, so we regretted that we couldn’t look other stores.
       Also, foods were delicious. There were many kinds of restaurants, not only hamburger shops! We thought “Little Tokyo” and “Panda express” were unique name. Do you understand what kinds of restaurants? After all, we had lunch at Burger King on North Food Court. We have already eaten in this shop before that in other shopping mall, so it was second time for us to eat. American burgers and potatoes were big even these were small size. We had high calories foods in a day, so terrible.
       Surprisingly, there are not only shopping stores. It has big movie theaters, aquarium and amusement park. When I knew these options, I couldn’t believe why shopping store and amusement park combined together. I thought children won’t be bored all day. I wanted to ride a roller coaster but I couldn’t. Next time I’ll try!
       As you can see, Mall Of America is special place for me and American people. We can do Shopping, playing, eating at one place! This stay was unforgettable for me. If I have a chance to go to the U.S. , I’ll go there absolutely!
