Opening of AEON Ipoh Station 18

Since last post about largest shopping mall AEON Ipoh Station 18 on 06-March, people have been waiting for this day, the grand opening day on 29-March. The wait is finally over. Ipoh citizens are flooding the mall with full curiosity about this largest shopping center. Without writing much, I believe photos are the best way to bring you a simple virtual tour into the mall.

The decorations are so attractive & cute. I feel like coming into a dream world which surrounded by lovely toys & cartoons. This is going to be a great place for the Ipoh citizens :-)
