Not
sure
what
I
could
possibly
add
to
the
over
100,000
reviews
so
far.
We
from
the
US
have
been
surprised
to
find
how
"alive"
and
vibrant
the
malls
are
in
Brazil,
compared
to
the
well-publicized
moribund
situation
(decay
and
decline)
of
typical
US
shopping
malls.
Some
we
have
spoken
to
say
that
this
may
be
a
response
to
the
need
for
safe
spaces
in
São
Paulo.
A
shopping
mall
is
a
place
where
you
don't
need
to
worry
about
having
your
cell
phone
snatched
or
your
car
window
bashed
in.
We
see
cars
of
teen-agers
(adolescentes)
being
dropped
off
without
worry
by
parents.
At
9.30pm,
the
malls
are
abuzz
and
it
is
nostalgic
to
me,
because
that
was
what
malls
were
like
in
the
1980s
in
the
US.
But
being
specific
about
Eldorado,
as
there
are
so
many
malls
in
São
Paulo,
it
has
great
options
for
shopping:
a
huge
Carrefour
and
many
specialty
shops;
many
restaurants
and
kiosks,
pretty
much
an
ideal
mall.
