The Mall Wien Mitte

Today a new mall opened in Wien Mitte, which they very inventively have called ‘The Mall.’ I was feeling a bit crazy, so decided to go check out the opening specials at the electronics store. They did actually have some awesome deals (like a cheap superzoom camera from FujiFilm for just 88 Euro which had 14 megapixel and 18X optical zoom, the same one that I already own albeit the version from 2004… fortunately I came back to my senses thinking that I already have four cameras!), but the store doesn’t take credit cards at all… I find that pretty crazy. But it’s true; two of the biggest electronics stores in Austria just don’t take credit cards, even if they sell tvs and equipment that cost many thousand Euro… It’s a crazy country. Well anyway. It took me about one hour to get into the mall, and then an additional half hour or so to get into the store. And in the end I didn’t buy a thing.. 😀 Sometimes all the fun is had just standing in line.
