i dont think it is about ...i dont think it is about being dependent on malls. its about the connivance for a lot of people. and what else is there to do in Doha for entertainment? there is no disney land or six flags. most of the time it is too hot to go to the beach not only that the beaches here aren't always the cleanest.
Villagio is like 2 minutes from my house. i can do my grocery shopping, clothes shopping and go to the cinema easily.
hyatt plaza is there but Giant is more expensive than carrefour and he shops there aren't that great.
Villagio is also a good place to meet up friends and co workers. quite frankly the other malls in qatar are not as good. Landmark is OK but that is far from my house.

It seems people are holding ...It seems people are holding their breath for villagio to open,,,,come on guys its just a mall,,,don't make it seem like a sacred place.............by the way I am also anxiously waiting for villagio to open,,,lolz for it is the only unique/special mall in doha, all others have very plain look.
Bachus said
It's mall in which people ...It's mall in which people were killed because others rushed the job to be open. I think we should all want them to get it right and safe this time. Get some perspective people.

do we worship that mall? im ...do we worship that mall? im new here, and you cant take that feeling from me of being excited for that. its just that its a talk about before and after,you know curiosity.and if you dont like villagio. your also free to unlike the mall. but pls dont discourage us? dont you want to promote your mall?

Bachus who said we want it to ...Bachus who said we want it to open without safety measures, of course safety will be the first priority of everyone, what we want is that they complete the work soon and open it for us. ppl have not forgotten the reason for its closure, it was a sad incident and everyone felt it at heart, but that does not mean that the mall should be closed forever, sad incidents happen all the time on roads as well, so should they close the roads also? the important thing is that they install proper safety measures to prevent such incidents to happen in future. here in doha we don't have much places to visit specially in hot summer, the only entertainment we are left with is to go to malls and spend time there, and between those malls villagio has got its own ambiance, that's why we are waiting for it's opening again. I hope u understand.
Bachus said
I do understand. I shopped ...I do understand. I shopped at the mall regularly. But the gushing excitement over its re-opening and complaints about the slowness of the reopening are too much for me.
It's that sort of glee that mall owners, builders, etc. took advantage of in the first place to build an unsafe, poorly constructed mall that resulted in so many unnecessary deaths. That it is opening so soon makes me seriously wonder the extent to which the dangers have been fixed.
Birdee said
on that point I agree that we ...on that point I agree that we should at least be patient for the safe and proper reconstruction of the mall, bcz safety is the priority for everyone then comes the shopping n entertainment stuff, but I guess with efficient management and honest supervision quick work progress is possible,that is no big deal at present age. And I did not notice people complaining about the slowness of work they are only hopeful and excited about it's reopening, so lets hope this time potential dangers are fixed properly for everyone. don't be so pessimistic,,, cheers :)

DOHA: As speculations about ...DOHA: As speculations about reopening of now-shut outlets at the Villaggio shopping mall are spreading, employees working for outlets within the shopping facility has not been informed about a specific date.
It is also expected that only a few shops will reopen at the first phase and others would take at least few more weeks to complete procedures before they restart doing business, at the Villaggio mall, which was closed, following the fateful fire accident which took 19 lives.
“They might open on August 15, but we have not been yet officially informed,” a manager of a popular outlet at the Villaggio, told this newspaper. “Even though it’s not possible for all shops to re-open on the same day, some would take more time,” he said.
Among the eight entrances to the shopping facility with 220 outlets, gate number one, two and the VIP zone are expected to re-open on the first phase, which would allow the cinema, popular book store and departmental store to re-open for business.
