A Mall by any other name is still a mall...






okay...they are called malls or shopping centres here but the concept is exactly the same. As I said before, it really seems like being in Miami. Canal Walk in Cape Town, like the city itself, is much cooler than anything you'd find in Joburg. It's enormous and the food court is right out of America...no offense intended! It's flashy neon and larger than life. it really looks like an amusement park or Vegas. The one on the left show "Mexico Spur". Spur is a family steak house chain available only in SA I think and they have names such as Utah Spur, San Antonio etc. The most similar thing we had in Canada is Ponderosa and in the US, maybe Western Sizzlin'. On the right is the overall foodcourt view. on the right, that big splash of yellow you can see is one "leg" of the McDonald's golden arches.
