This mall has air conditioning, and you could walk and see that there is quiet, Ventiene is a very quiet capital, nothing to do. The Mall is the maximum.

This is a shopping mall come market, in fact, it spills out into the morning market next door. You can get anything here, whether you are a local or a visitor. It is set up for local business rather than tourist trade so there are lots of shops/stalls selling electronics, traditional and western clothing, food, cosmetics , footwear. Of most interest is the second floor (first floor if you are an Australiasian i.e. up one flight of escalator) where the jewellery dealers are. There are amazing silver shops with tribal and traditional jewellery as well as modern copy pieces. Most of the dealers and shopkeepers are very welcoming and happy to discuss their pieces. Do ask for business cards with details and prices of items as it becomes confusing as you visit more and more and see pieces which you may want to come back for. I found them mostly to be quite fair and honest. Do haggle but remember that gold and silver have international fluctuating international prices scales, so don't expect ridiculous knockdowns. Ask the dealers to test the pieces in front of you so that you can see you are getting true metals. They don't mind and do expect it.
