Hi, We came back from bali on 17th Feb and I loved shopping at the new mall - beautiful and cool inside - almost freezing unlike mataharis with air con that keeps stopping..We stayed at bali rani - like we have before and like you watched this being built. we were only there may/june 04 and cant believe the progress! On the ground level (walk in of footpath is a supermarket which opened on 17th feb, didnt get to see it..never mind. when you walk up the grand stairs at front you have KFC, Pizza Hut which is groovy, Starbucks coffee and other cafes, then once inside main entrance its a huge mall - speciality shops around outer perimeter like Osh Kosh kids clothing - guess jeans - cool kids - great litte chemist - shoe shops - cafe at end - jewellery shops - money changer - dvd ..just a name a few - all nice shops - then when you go up escalator to 1st level that is Centro department store..i loved it and bought heaps - like 35 pairs of shoes for me and 4yr and 2yr old, i always buys kids label - Popeye and Disney - osh kosh etc..BIG TIP - i signed up for centro card - like fly buys - i have loads of points to get something free - points are valid for 12 months!! very easy to do..sign up on 1ist level at info counter..I must admit that i love to shop and i am careful with what i buy and know what to look for as i have been buys same brands for years there and it lasts and is fantastic..(sorry to on?) the next level up is fun station like timezone - food hall (not busy) and large media - hi fi shop. When on the ist level you walk to back of the shops and there is a nice restaurant with floor to ceiling glass windows - this all drops right onto beach!!! so we had a cappucino and sat in cafe in these sitting areas (like a kabana) with low coffee table and floor cushions!! we watched the sunset from inside..the centre shop is full but there are still a building either side of main building to be filled with shops!! this is all lit up at night and is great. You will love tuban - since road works all the street paths are better and more cafes etc..we are going back on August 22nd for 2 weeks..moght see you there...hope i have helped???
