What's in a Name?

Our search for a jacket was successful. I found a perfect jacket in the men’s section in the (seemingly) last store in the mall. Yes, mall. I know on the side it says that we’re “roughing it” but that part hasn’t started yet. While we’re here in Gabs, there are actually 3 malls all of which I’ve been to now. They’re actually not bad either. We spent most of the day at the bigger of the malls because we were killing time before Tim’s meeting with a guy who’s in charge of research. We enjoyed a nice lunch and some shopping, then found wifi at a small café. We spent so long catching up on emails and such we had to rush to get to the meeting which was actually cancelled because the guy was in a different meeting. Oh well. We then went to a different mall where Green Lantern was showing. I liked it. When I saw the previews, I was not impressed by all the corniness, but it was actually good. And how can a girl not enjoy a movie with Ryan Reynolds?  And then we had a great dinner at an Indian restaurant. All in all, a great anniversary J We’ve got an interesting track record for anniversaries, they’ve both been spent out of the country, first in London, then in Botswana. We’ll have to figure something out for next summer…maybe back to London for the Summer Olympics?
I think one of the most interesting things I’ve observed so far has been the names of the stores. They’re pretty awesome, so be prepared.
Game – this was an everything store…except games. I couldn’t find any games there. Or  matches, which was what we were looking for.
Juicy Lucy – this was a juice store, similar to Jamba Juice.
Chicken Licken – Maybe because their chicken is finger “licken” good?
Mafia Soul – this was a clothing store. Not quite sure about this one.
Wimpy Burger – doesn’t inspire much confidence in their food, does it?
And lastly, Bimbo’s – no explanation required
