Garuda Mall

The malls here are mostly pretty crappy by our standards but Garuda was pretty impressive. They were having some sort of bizarre promotional event for Jumpin’ Juice and were giving it away to anyone who would scream “I love jumpin’ juice” for them. They also had a little trampoline for small children to jump on and it looked like there might’ve been other products being advertised too. Massage chairs and video games were scattered around and there was a car with a bow on it in the middle.

Mostly what impressed me was the cleanliness (by Indian standards) and the size. There were seven or eight floors, including the movie theater, and lots of good smells wafting around instead of the stench of pee and rickshaw exhaust that pervades many parts of Bangalore.
