Shopping@Premium Outlets

@Austin: San Marcos Premium Outlet
on 20 July 2018 (Friday)

The first "shopping" spree in Austin.
Many of the boutique shops here have their own 'building' - of course, it has taken advantage of the abundance of land here.




@Harlingen: Rio Grande Valley Premium Outlet
on 23 July 2018 (Monday)

This outlet is smaller than that in San Marcos. However, has greater variety - other than just boutique shops :)

The shopping experience was a pleasant one, except one - Coach.
This is a place, (even) close(r) to Mexico. Hence, sales staff many were probably Mexicans, and obviously, their targets were Mexican shoppers rather than Asians who could not speak Mexican, probably. Nevertheless, the sales person's attitude was terrible.






It's the first time that there was not responses to requests of Uber services.
Approached the management office to assist getting a cab.

Guess what? The company's name is called "My Taxi"; and it charged USD40 instead of the usual USD17 from the outlet back to the hotel!
