Superduper mega mall

Everything seems to be mega here in Melbourne, the streets, the sky scrapers, the city itself, the library, and so do the shopping malls. In the middle of the center of Melbourne, at the crossing of Swanston and Bourke street is Melbourne Central, a huge shopping center with underneath the central subway station. Beside shops the shopping center houses a lot of restaurants and other places to eat.

To keep things orderly and easy to find there are huge interactive TV screens on every floor. They provide you with a search engine for locating the place that you're looking for. After selecting your destination on the touch screen a animation shows you were it is located and a voice tells you how to get there.

The heart of the mall consists of a gigantic cone shaped glass dome with in the center an old brick tower. To provide the visitors of the mall with the time, there is a huge clock, or maybe I should say watch, hanging at a balcony, opposite of the tower.
