Ok, so it was less of a shopping spree and more of window shopping.

I went to the Ambience Mall – the largest mall in Gurgaon – with good intentions.  I wanted to find some authentic Indian stuff to bring back to Elaine and the girls.  But after walking the entire ground floor I quickly realized that the mall is almost identical to one you would find in the US.  I finally found a few stores where I could buy Elaine some authentic Indian clothes, but I went to a dozen different kids stores and every single one looked just like Baby Gap.

So other than the size of the place, it was basically like shopping at home.  They even had a giant food court with McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and Baskin Robbins. But the funniest store – by far – was the knockoff of Forever 21 called “Jealous 21.”

So much for shopping in an “Indian” mall.
