Here are some night shots from the lineup for the taxi at the Glorietta Mall.
This mall is not nearly as big as many here. The only reason that we ended up here was to go to a specialty shop that is not at other malls.
There are booths you may call them, simple displays with goods on them. Most of them are women's items or cell phone accessories.
As you pass ( if you are a white man ) the girls say hello and then politely say what they have there, as if you could not recognize the items by simply looking at them.
It's ok at first but it gets old after a while.
Example:
Hello Sir, Maam...gold watches?
Hello Sir, Maam...Handbags?
Hello Sir, Maam...shoes?
Hello Sir, Maam...gold rings?
Hello Sir, Maam...high capacity Glock mags?
Ok, so I made that last one up. It's absolutely true about the other items though.
It's only when I go with my wife that they seem so friendly too.

There are normally "security" officers outside that write the name and the number of the taxi on a form for you as they guide you into a cab.
This gives the passenger some reassurance that the driver will not be a complete ass during the trip.
Tonight the security people were not only writing the cab info on the form to give to the passengers as they entered the taxi, they were also taking pictures of them getting in.
I had seriously hoped to get a picture of the security gaurd taking our picture but they stopped just before we stepped up the the head of the line
