Whenever I am visiting hot places, I always run into local malls. I can have window shopping while making myself cool. Today, I went to SM Mall Valenzuela. It was the best option to escape from the hot weather of the place. "Do you do the same thing?" Image Credit: Shavkat

Yesterday I went to Bessang Pass, the coldest place in Ilocos Sur. At that time the fog is so thick and its raining. It's so cold that I'm shivering and my arms are so numb. I can't stand the cold so I went inside the car because it's warmer inside the car.

That's nice, my friend. Are you near to San Esteban? I haven't seen Bessang Pass. It sounds interesting.

I agree. The mall is not too far from my sister's place. So I managed to walk there today.

@spaceseed I am not questioning your way of expressing your thoughts. There is no right or wrong in giving opinions. A horse can never go change its course.

I am sure @responsivene will agree on that. It is really hot after stepping out from the sun.

Me too go to malls but this time I prefer to stay at home all my family members because of the war. A maute member was sighted in Gaisano Mall 4 days ago buying so many batteries.Maybe for bomb assembly. The terrorist was able to escape, I dunno know if he is captured now.

A mall is indeed a good place to go to when the weather is hot. However, if the mall is overcrowded and the a/c can't cool the entire place, it get warm inside the mall as well. I just stay at home and have the a/c all for myself.

@Shavkat not all day long. A couple of hours in the afternoon and then another couple of hours in the evening.

@allen0187 I guess this is my option to stay cool in the malls. I can't live in hot weather. But I will be traveling back home to Baguio later. There is no need to go to malls.

That's good for you. Do you use ac all day long? That would be expensive in paying electric bills.

The mall here is very small and the malls in some areas have been torn down.

That's sad to hear. At least, we can still visit the mall despite dor nit having spacious. I assume it would be crowded.

When we were in Metro Manila which is so hot, we usually go to malls to ease the hot feeling! (for free). But we are so fortunate to live in a cooler place, unlike in Metro Manila.

@Shavkat The malls we have you have to take a bus and I do not like taking buses. After the train came I do not know what buses go where now.

I must admit that I do have some situations being lost in certain places. However, I tried to find the place with the help of my mobile app or ask the locals.

@Hannihar I agree. We need to be careful about who we ask some directions.

If I am in my city, I would also prefer to stay at home. Since the cool weather makes me more relaxed. The cold breeze in the mountain is the ideal way to live in. I am just saying.

I rarely go out these days and if I do then I will bare with the sun because I cannot search for a mall everytime.

Yes, I do that also. I window shop but make sure I have money to eat at a fastfood joint after. By the way, is that SM Valenzuela? Wow, so long stairs to go up. No elevator? Very good exercise.
