Mall Ratten...

Yesterday (Saturday, January 27th), we went to a big mall called Rhein-Neckar Zentrum in Viernheim, about 40 kilometers North of our temporary housing. It was an interesting experience. The mall is immense and essentially a single story. Points of interest:

  • There's a place to park your children ("Kinderland") that costs 1 Euro per child per hour. Needless to say, we'll be back for that alone...
  • The mall had some nice bakeries and even a butcher shop.
  • The place was packed to the gills with people of all ages.
  • The kids were excited to go to Toys R Us. Prices there were higher than in the States but not out of control.

I'd like to go back when the kids feel more comfortable being away from us. At this point, being dropped off in a place where they don't speak the same language as their playmates is a no-go.
