I am constantly amazed at Turkish malls. I have been to several in Ankara and Bursa especially. Though they are not "my type" of environment, I never fail to be in awe of the glitz, the size, and the commercial activity taking place. At a time when I read of the malls of America being practically void of customers, the Turkish malls seem an unceasing hive of activity. Oh, and take notice the Christmas decorations in the mall of this 97% Muslim country.
