Back in May, Argentina's largest shopping mall opened. Named DOT Baires, its opening was celebrated by President Fernandez de Kirschner and many celebrities and politicians were in attendance. Since it's situated in a barrio bordering the province, and about an hour via colectivo from my apartment, I never thought about venturing out there until yesterday.One of my friends from the US is about 6'6 and has had lots of trouble finding clothing here that fits him, so I told him the Wal Mart (only the 2nd in Argentina) located in the mall would definitely have his size and, suprisingly, it did! I didn't buy much but had a nice lunch there. The mall is ultra-modern and cost over $250 million US dollars to construct. It also has a beautiful terrace/garden with waterfalls and walking paths. Someone transported there from the US would have thought they were in an upscale Beverly Hills or New York City mall. It's definitely worth a trip if you are in town for more than a week.
