Despite the monsoon rains, Milarose and I meet at the SM Mall of Asia. It is the largest shopping mall in the Philippines and the 3rd largest shopping mall in the world in terms of gross leasable area, next to the South China Mall and Golden Resources Mall in China.

A roundabout was constructed in the front of the mall with a huge bronze globe similar to Universal Studios. Click the globe for the list of "world's largest malls".
