All Bets Off (Arena Plaza)Here in Hungary, one of the most attractive things in Budapest is that it still has a thriving city center, where people live, shop and socialize.
But anyone who's walked around Budapest lately has probably noticed a lot of empty storefronts. It makes me wonder if the proliferation of shopping malls here will lead to the same blight suffered by my hometown back in the US.
Keeping all that in mind, the other weekend Izabella and I went shopping at the new mall, the Arena Plaza, which was ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
