Wandering for the first time through an American shopping mall on Monday, 17-year-old Belen Ascariz said she was amazed at its size and the array of shops. "It's quite unusual. It's very, very big," she said. While she and three friends from Spain were mostly browsing through clothing stores for the moment, they vowed to return. "We're going to buy a lot of things," she said.
