Dundrum

I was in Dundrum on Sunday. I didn't go into the new shopping center, but I drove to it. I was acting as chauffeur for the family shoppers.

There's nothing redeeming about the place. The town is completely choked by traffic all heading towards the shopping center. Whose bright idea was it to put this place in the middle of a town and not out along the motorway?

The traffic was bad (I wonder if it's like that everyday), the people were worse. Those who I witnessed were in a foul, impatient mood. Unable to spend their money fast enough. From what I heard, inside was worse.

Affluence, arrogance and ignorance do not a pleasant person make. Dundrum is like a magnet for such people. I was relieved to hear that no one in the family wanted to go there ever again.
