A huge THANK YOU to basically all of Devonshire Mall. About a week ago, I brought a fairly large group of Chinese Exchange students to the mall to pick up some basics they had forgotten (toiletries, shoes, and the like). As this experience is totally new to them, everything took a bit longer than usual...some charades, some interesting translations, and some extra time needed.
I was worried the students would see impatient Canadians and have their experience tainted - however I am happy to report not only did no one around us complain, some were even jumping in with translation help, or directions to different stores in the mall!

Special shoutout to the lady at the information desk, who helped them highlight where they needed to go on their maps, our waitress at Moxies who was patient and helpful while we worked through currency and tipping, and the Starbucks employees in chapters! We were a confused cluster, but thanks to your help we were able to get what we needed for the students.
