I went out to the mall with the relaxed quarantine rules

As soon as the government allowed taxi to travel then I immediately went out to a mall not so far away. On my first day, I checked out how many food stalls are open on the food court. Actually there about four open, one of them is KFC . McDonald's is closed and so other popular food stalls are still closed. No dine in just order to take away with you. And besides the stalls is the big grocery. There's quite a long queue on grocery because of social distancing only few people at a time are allowed to go inside it. Anyways the non food stalls like clothing, electronics and etc are all open but not many people though in those areas. So it was only by taxi I was able to go there. But on the second day, I went out again but this time I just walked to the mall which took me like 30 minute walk. I did enjoy the walk. But on my way home I took a taxi as I had some grocery items already with me and I don't want to walk again. I just did walk only one time as I just missed walking that long having been at home for few months already without seeing outside because of the quarantine rules. I'm expecting that in a few days that there would be more available public vehicles available for public to ride as there's still a lot of people like who don't own a car.

It will feel good again to dine out?

I'm hoping that it will be allowed to eat inside the food court or in any fast food restaurant. I'm planning to check 7/11 near my place and see if it's okay already to eat there. I just miss doing that again even if it's just quick stay to eat food inside the store.

@mynameiskate you had a pleasant snack on a parking. Oh well , that short stay in parking somehow enough to feel life is normal again.

@hotsummer I've enjoyed just getting a coffee and something to snack on. I've even stayed for a while in the parking lot where an old sign from another time hung on the wall. No Loitering Doesn't seem to apply these days.

Yeah we need to wear mask . I don't plan to go the mall again as taxis are expensive. If jeepneys, the local public transportation vehicle in the Philippines, are allowed again then only I would go to the malls or other place to buy some essential things. But still I would wait till next year before I would say I can go out too often as I would want to.

@Butterfingers I'm just wondering how about in your place. Are malls allowed already to open.
