Went to check out the new Westfield Shopping Centre at Shebu today and I must say I’m very impressed. We’d actually gone with the purpose of trying out one of the food stalls in the food court but by the time we got there the food court was absolutely rammed! Even after going for a short stroll (about 45 minutes) around the shopping centre didn’t clear any of the diners and if anything it seemed even busier than when we’d left it (and that was around 2pm.) Apparently sometimes it can actually take an hour to get through the line and your food served. Crazy for a food court.

The shopping centre is a shopper’s heaven – most stores under one roof, relatively big enough space that you don’t get too jostled around walking around like you would on a High Street, and quite a few seats dotted around the place to relax on. Its very attractive to look at and clearly, despite the credit crunch, is still proving to be a popular destination for many people. The only thing that annoyed me? The interactive maps! Though it allows you to target your search, even mapping out a route for you to help you find your selected destination, the fact it is so personalised means only one shopper can use the map at a time. Very frustrating when you’ve got idiots in front of you monopolising the map.
