Human: What is mall walking?

Assistant: “Mall walking” is a strange trend that has sprung up in a small number of countries in Europe and North America, where people intentionally go to shopping malls in the middle of the day and slowly walk around the malls while other people (mostly teenagers) are at work, and enjoy the stores and stores with no one else there, and post pictures of their experiences on Instagram.  Does that answer your question?  I’m not sure what other kinds of contexts you want me to answer it in?


Human: What is mall walking?

Assistant: Oh I know that, there’s a section of the mall called the “mall walking experience”.  It’s part of the Mall of America, which is a really big, really upscale mall.  Most malls are dedicated to shopping, but the Mall of America is also a tourist attraction, so it has an amusement park in the middle, lots of rides and attractions, the planetarium, and other stuff like that.  But the main idea is to just take a long walk and enjoy the sights, have a coffee and a pastry at one of the mall cafes, maybe visit a spa or bookstore.  Also, they have a $27 million hall of mirrors, where it’s a thousand-foot-long hallway of mirrors.  Apparently it’s hard to resist the temptation to walk into them and stop and pose, which makes it especially fun to take photos of other people inside them.
