SM Mall Of Asia is the biggest mall here in the Philippines. Because of this, so many people like shopping there. But not me. During the few times I've ventured over to MOA, I always find myself lost! I don't know where he stores are located. if I ever do, I wouldn't want to walk very far to get to the store I'm thing of. What about you, do you like SM MOA?

hey you know what? during the first time i went t MOA for a date, i swear i thought i lost my car, it was only after moments of confusion and not to mention embarrassment that i realized that i was on the wrong building parking lot. You are so right, you will get lost at MOA!

Aww!!! They have so many parking lots kasi it's annoying.. But at least we never run out of parking space.

I have to Mall of Asia only once and I have no plans yet to be back there, (you really love shopping no? LOL) to me the place is too big and I think my time will be wasted walking around the mall. and I have kids so walking around the mall is not advisable I think.

I get tired of walking too especially if I can't find what I'm looking for! I tried to ride the golf carts in MOA once but they said that it was only for the elderly and my mom wasn't old enough. :( Yes, I love shopping, it's my best "sport."

I have never been to SM Mall of Asia... because everytime i go to Manila... it is just out of my way... so i only visit Trinoma and SM Edsa instead... but i would love to visit the biggest mall in the Phillipines one of these days... i guess it can never be too crowded there because of its size...

I have been there once, about a year ago. I found it too big also, that I felt so lost, maybe I was just new in the place. It is great to know that we have a big shopping mall like MOA but I don't think I will go back there frequently. I will just make myself so tired walking in the building without nothing to buy (window shopping). But if I really have something to buy, I will make sure to get to the exact stall to save time and effort.

Hi there. I'm not that much a fan of shopping at MoA either. I've been there once or twice, it being quite far from where I live in Quezon City, and, like you, found myself quite lost a couple of times. Of course, the view is good and it's a nice place to visit when eating out with family and friends or watching movies but if I actually want to buy something, I'd say I'd prefer good old SM MegaMall whose layout is quite straightforward and not confusing.

Oh I get lost in Mega sometimes too! But it's smaller compared to MOA and it's just rectangular so I can just walk one way and not have to cross so many circular buildings that make me lost..

it's pretty normal if you are not familiar with the place and location of establishments yet, but if you want comfort in shopping, MOA is not the place...

I love shopping and malling but I find myself always tired at the end of the day when I visit SM MOA. When I first visited about two years ago, I was so eager and excited to see it. Although I really enjoyed watching movies there especially at iMAX. When it comes to shopping, I also get confused at times. I guess you just have to get used to it or try to visit it more often.

I remember the 1st time we went there... I was very exhausted from all the walking while my girlfriend was taking her time shopping! lol! Lots of shops and restaurants. My only complaint is it's very hot and exhausting there because some of the shops are located outside. After a few hours, she got tired and we went to one of the spas and had a foot massage. I'm sure you'll enjoy shopping at MOA once you get used to the place.
