Yes, the East Rand Mall isn't what it used to be anymore. But it's nice to get out of Secunda for a change. Our mall here seriously sucks.

People complaining about not enough dams during water shortages and now they complain when they're given more.

Government just can't win.

@IkariX That hole is filled with water, might as well call it a lake now.

I used to go to the mall every weekend back in the day.
But all the good shops have closed.

Yes, that hole sucks, and it sucks having to take the side road now. Because even that is starting to look like crap.

Me and my sister go to the East Rand Mall and flea market regularly. We have a mall where I live, but it's[censored].

We also have a giant hole here in Boksburg.
Sinkhole took out a whole road, been 3 years, still not fixed.
Think they should also make it an attraction now.

Okay this reply will tackle multiple words (nouns, adjectives and verbs). Consider this as Bonus Words of the Day./

行く meaning to go (Read as "iku"-verb); however, there are also two words (nouns) that make use of the "Going radical"(行). These words are 行い(read as "okonai") meaning conduct, behavior or deed. The other word is 行 which means line(s) (of text etc), row, verse etc Read as "gyou"). There is a suffix ("行き") which is attached to the end of a location noun. This suffix means "bound for"

For example

オーストラリア行き (Oosutararia yuki)
Australia bound/ bound for Australia

Japanese bonus word of the day (mimesis)

Japanese is fill of "sound words" and mimesis which imitates sounds and occurrences of he real world. Such examples we have are "Boom" (explosion).

The mimesis (this can be regarded as an adverb in a sentence because you will have to use に (ni) to modify a verb)

ズタズタ (zuta zuta) meaning to pieces/into shreds

The grammar in the brackets above the definition entry mentions a use of "Ni".

The use: に can be used after a mimesis (eg. zuta zuta) to create an adverb that modifies a verb

For example

トムはお金がズタズタに裂きました (Tomu wa okane ga zuta zuta ni sakimashita)
Tom tore the money to pieces/shreds.
