People watching

Being in a mall is always an interesting time. First of all the place presents us with a lot of sights and sounds.
It is a visual treat for the eyes. The colourful displays everywhere, the lights in the shops are always inviting to the visitor.

Walking in a mall, one is sure to come across the smell of food wafting through the air. It would make anyone hungry instantly, especially with kids, you are definitely going to get a piece of that freshly baked pie.

It is a wonderful time for the children, they have lots of things to do, unlike at home where they are in front of the TV playing games. It is good to see children running around and screaming as they are supposed to do.
They also want their parents to buy everything that they see. Watching the parents parent their children is amusing. The things children do to convince their parents, and the things parents say to their children is definitely interesting. Sometimes, the parents win and then you also hear crying.

There are different kinds of people who visit a mall. Not everyone goes to shop!
 The first kind of people are the ones who go to actually buy something. They have something in mind that they want to buy and go get it. Although they rarely return with just what they wanted. This is specially true for women.
Second, these are the people who just go to shop every weekend. They have no idea of what they want to buy, but they want to go shopping. These people are very good for businesses.
The third group of people are the ones who hang out with their friends. They are usually located in coffee shops. If this group consists of teenagers they just keep walking all around and are in no fixed place.
The fourth group is the ones who do not much to do and they decide that going to the mall would be the best thing to do. These people keep walking around, visit the shops, watch other people and just hang around. These people do not buy anything, but they are prospective customers.
Then there is always a bunch of children who tag along with their mother/aunts who go shopping.

Watch for these people the next time you visit a mall. It is interesting observing people anywhere.
