Malls outside of the US and western Europe are still the go-to place. Especially for the middle class. Especially on weekend nights. Places where the whole family goes to splurge. To maybe ice skate, get a hamburger, and then see a movie. They are also nice windows into the often massive inequality in most countries. In Jakarta there is an upscale mall, complete with fancy western fashion stores, with shacks literally against the back wall of the mall. Using it as one side of a tin roofed home. Although being in a Kyiv mall two weeks before the Russian invasion gave me a pretty blind vision of what was about to happen. All I saw were happy families oblivious to the encroaching danger, which I mistook for some commentary on what was about to happen, rather than people trying to do their best to ignore the ugly.
