Pro Tips English Shopping Centres Do you often go to shopping centres? No. To be fair, I do recall visiting one in Stockholm. I was in Sweden on a trip, and I went to a climbing gym, which was located in a shopping mall, which was very odd because you're climbing, falling, and right across the way, right across the corridor . I guess, was a bunch of people eating McDonald's, watching everybody exercise. It was a bit unusual. Do you prefer large or small shopping centres? I rarely visit either, so I can't say I have a preference. Why do you think some people really like going to shopping centres? For some people buying things as a source of comfort or a source of reward or activity or something that they share with other people. So there could be a personal or an interpersonal dimension to it
