Australian tourist's video about Lahore's Emporium Mall goes mega-viral

A video made by travel vlogger Andrew Roemer about Emporium Mall in Lahore, Pakistan, has gone viral, racking up almost a million views on Instagram. 

The tourist was impressed by the huge mall. Comparing it to some of the best shopping centres he has visited worldwide, Roemer expressed his admiration for the mall's scale, luxury, and modern infrastructure.

"This place is better than most malls in Australia," he remarked upon arriving, adding that Emporium Mall rivals even the world-famous shopping centres in Thailand. The vlogger was particularly impressed by the variety of stores and the overall ambience, calling the experience "crazy" in the best way possible.

A friend of Roemer, who has travelled extensively across the world, made an interesting observation, saying, "This mall is better than most of the malls we have in America these days." He pointed out that in Western countries, online shopping has taken over, reducing the appeal of physical retail spaces. "I do a lot of Amazon shopping myself," he admitted, joking that he usually only visits malls when his wife takes him out to buy clothes.

His reaction highlights how Pakistan's shopping destinations are evolving, offering world-class experiences that even seasoned travelers find impressive. 

Seeing the reactions the video was getting, Andrew made another video, one focused on shopping malls. 

The vlogger is now eager to explore more top-tier malls worldwide and has invited his audience to share recommendations. "I want to find the best malls in the world," he said, encouraging viewers to suggest must-visit shopping destinations in their own countries.
