Summary/Abstract: A city myth includes many dream-like constructions. We can enter such mythological space when we decide to open the door to a shopping malls. I don’t like shopping centers. I try to escape into narrow streets and old passage-ways. I look at decorative elements on solid wooden doors. I hate artificial trees and plastic decorations. And I hate aggressive advertisement. I don’t like crowded interiors. Shopping centers look like metallic- and-glass boxes. They don’t include, though, small market squares and stalls. A friend confessed to me that he comes here with his son and wife. She love to shop, and he loves to watch people, while eating ice cream. Do you like it here? What are you doing here, if you don’t like it here?
