Asian shopping fever at Pacific Mall
http://www.thestar.com/living/Shopping/article/244046

"It was a communal experience, sharing a picnic table in the food court with a family of four who were having something way more adventurous. We felt really white."

..........

"And you really have to look hard (take your reading glasses) to find clothing in adult sizes. An Asian size large would probably not even fit a 10-year-old."

..........

"And they are up front about admitting the shoes are Italian designed but made in China."
