My last day in the Philippines was spent exploring The Mall of Asia, the fourth largest mall in the world. I didn't really have anything I was looking to buy (I did want to demo a new camera that came out) but I had several friends going so I decided to tag along with them. We ended up spending the majority of the day checking out the camera / computer / sports equipment shops, playing in the video arcade, and watching a movie.
I was able to curb my appetite for sushi by eating in a sushi-go-round for lunch. It wasn't nearly as good as the sushi back in Japan. I'm looking forward to going back and having some real fresh sushi.
Here is some information about the Mall of Asia from Wikipedia:
