I walk though the mall and am overcome with a feeling of de ja vu. It feels like I have been here before. The design is the same. There is a domed roof and sunlight is flowing in from above.
Plenty of chain stores and international brands. Quality goods. People sitting at coffee shops and restaurants. Cinemas. I have been here before. I am convinced.
The only thing that tells me it is not what I am thinking of, is the shop names and the language I hear around me. Spanish ...
Ok, so I am not at Cresta (a northern Johannesburg shopping mall). This place is called Gran Via 2. Far away from Cresta but similar in many ways.
