The Big Tent

On Saturday Aug 14th, I went for a jog and ended up at the big tent. It is only about a ten or fifteen minute walk from our apartment. It is a huge mall under this tent like roof. There are, of course, the normal mall stores with over priced junk. There is a grocery store downstairs; it may end up being the one we mostly shop at this winter. There are many different areas with games for both adults and children; bumper cars, video games, and a log ride where you wear a rain cut and float around a river before dropping down a steep decline and getting splashed. There is a small roller-coaster that goes all the way around the tent. There are some play areas for small children; I expect we will take Sadie there during the winter. On the top is a fancy fitness area and a couple of swimming pools. One pool has waves and a sandy beach. It only cost 10,000 Tange per adult on the weekend; about 68 USD. Kinda of pricey, but I guess cheaper than flying to Thailand.
When I left the big tent I went to the park across the road from the tent. There are lots of trees and a couple of cool statues of various painted animals.
