Top 10 Largest Malls in the World

Shopping malls can be small just like strip malls or even a line of shops on a street but in a same building. Likewise, there are malls built like box-type or even architectural wonders. And there are malls that are fully air-conditioned( yeah, shops can be found inside the building) and with big open spaces inside that one can literally live there and spend his or her free time wandering around just window shopping or yet having a dine at a restaurant inside while watching people go about their ways.

Some of the biggest buildings in the world are filled with retail shops and entertainment centers. And these building are what we called as shopping malls. These malls are ultimate shopping, dining and entertainment centers.

And there are malls that are really big. If you want to know which malls that are the biggest and largest in the world, then this list may be of good use to you:

	Mall	Location	Gross Leasable Area	Total Land Area
1	New South China Mall[30]	Dongguan, China	600,000 m2 (6.46 million sq ft)	890,000 m2(9.58 million sq ft)
2	SM City North EDSA	Quezon City,Philippines	460,000 m² (4.74 million sq ft)		It includes City Center Building, The Annex, The Block, Carpark Building and SkyGarden. Currently the Largest Mall in Asia after Golden Resources Mall, 2nd Largest Mall in the World and Largest Shopping Mall in Southeast Asia.
3	Central World[31]	Bangkok, Thailand	429,500 m² (4.62 million sq ft)	550,000 m² (5.92 million sq ft)	Area of the full complex is 1,024,000 m² including two skyscrapers.

10	Beijing Mall	Beijing, China	320,000 m² (3.44 million sq ft)	440,000 m² (4.74 million sq ft)

Above is the top 10 list of largest shopping malls in the world.

What should be known is that the list is based on gross leasable area.

The Dubai Mall should be considered the largest mall in the world based on total land area.

The SM City North Edsa, SM Mall of Asia and SM Megamall are among the giant malls in the Philippines. The SM City North Edsa is even considered the second largest based on gross leasable area. However, when total land area is taken into consideration. It would be surpassed by Dubai Mall, New South China Mall, West Edmonton Mall, Central World Thailand and Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur, respectively.

There are other largest shopping malls in the world that are noteworthy and should be given recognition. Among these is Mall of America, which is the most visited shopping mall in the world and, if it is included in the list, is placed on the top 14th.

Siam Paragon in Thailand is the 11th largest mall in the world and is even larger than that of SM City North Edsa in total land area. The former has a total land area of 500,000 sq. m. while the latter has 460,000 sq. m.

Meanwhile, King of Prussia in Pennsylvania is the 13th largest in the world, the largest mall in USA and the second largest in North America.

The top 12th largest mall in the world is in the Philippines again. This time, it is just a few kilometer ride from my residence. SM City Cebu boasts itself as among the largest malls. It is really large. However, SM City Cebu rivals Ayala Center Cebu when it comes to aesthetics and attraction.

Some of the best and largest shopping malls in the world are just in my homestead and most of them are in Asia.

Making a Transition!

I am still testing the look of this blog. There may be a lot of transitions happening in this blog like new posts, new ad display and other updates. One of the transitions that is happening on this blog as of this writing is that I changed the blog address from http://bjorntop10biz.blogspot.com to http://bjorntop10biz.bjornbern.com.

I am counting three days from 9/24/06 to 9/27/09 for the transition to complete.

Yes, I am buying custom domain for the first time. Yehey! I already have my own domain name.

And I purchased it through Google.

So, if you experience or see any errors from this blog, that means the work in progress for transition is still going on.

This is a new blog so I don't really expect a lot of traffic yet but hopefully I can get more page views in a day soon.

The inconvenience for this blog does not really affect a lot of people because it is still a new blog.

Okay!

Ciao!

T10 reasons for looking and creating WEALTH ONLINE

I know many individuals are looking for ways to create wealth online or in a more cliche phrase: MAKE MONEY ONLINE. Looking for a job, doing biz or creating money online has different reasons and these are:

(Note: when I use the word "we" here, I did not intend to generalize)

1) We want to manage time and time can be more manageable when there is less legwork, reduced workload and versatile working hours.

2) Doing the offline 8-5 or 9-5, 40 hour-work in a week is taxing so we opt for less stressful, more flexible working hours working at home while still earning money

3) We want to choose how much we want to earn and that could lead us to working more hours online if we want to earn more. But when there is a satisfaction of the income currently streaming, checking the online biz site or blog for just two hours doing updates and answering emails would just do the work and then we can do the things that we like for the remaining hours of the day and night.

4) We want to enjoy what other people who have been successful online have been doing now. They are carefree, less stressful and inspirational.

5) We are looking for our retirement and some of us want to retire early so we choose to do business online. However, doing biz online would still require hard work if wanting to create residual income stream for the remaining months and years. But still ,when we think our business plan is feasible and that there is a strong conviction about the internet as a goldmine, we would still go for it... doing biz online, no matter what.

6) We want to attain a career-life balance.

7) We want other people to speculate of our earnings when they see new house,new tech gadgets, new cars parked in the garage, new everything.

Neighbors and friends may be speculating of your fortune, saying something like, "I only see you everyday just doing your thing at home or traveling wherever you like. Where did you get your money."

Other people might reconsider the notion just seeing your fortune as inheritance money while other sets of individuals(especially, the neighbors) who know about your background, from being broke to classy, will have bad ideas about your fortune. When you come to that point, will you spill the beans or not? Or will you just let them get envious more?

8) In other words, we want to be the object of envy or should I say, objects of envy. Now that is bad. Or is it?

9) We want to just enjoy the remaining days of our lives just doing less while earning more and so we think doing biz or working at home through online means will do the possibility. In short, we want to create passive income online.

10) The last reason I could not anymore supply and I will leave this blank for you.

Make Money Online- The Quest

Two years ago, my workmate introduced me to the world of blogging. Five of my new workmates have their own blogs while two of them have already earned money from their blogs. So, I wondered... "Is it possible to make money from blogging? Is there something to sell to earn just a few dollars that might eventually became hundreds and thousands?"

And so, I thought, mmmm... okay, show me your blog!

It was like saying, show me your money( even though I did not see any)

So, one of my workmates who was so friendly to me, took me to her blog( yeah, she is a lady). She let me see her account and her statistics and then I came to ponder on. Really now...

Okay...

"Can you help me create a blog?" Oh, before that, I asked her: "do I have to spend money?"

Well, she said "no, of course" and then I said, "tell me and show me how to do it".

But because it was working time, I let her do the work of creating the account at Blogger to creating an Adsense account (lucky me!)

After that, during our break time, she showed me the blog and gave me the UN and PW.

She told me to post some articles on the blog which I did for one month. My first month blog is Cebu Living which I now changed to Bjorn's Living in Cebu.

I have made new posts on the blog but the posting is not regular. (My last post on the blog was on 2008).

Eventually this year, I stumbled upon a blog about money-making doing blogging. I read about a blog Entrepreneurs Journey. I read about the author's lifestyle from his blogging beginning to what is he is and has now. Just by reading one article of his blog, I was already convinced to continue blogging. ( Procrastination is my disease and I am gradually finding a way to cure it, actually I have found it.)

I have also read a blog of John Chow . And on his blog, I have come across a way to make money online by reading his e-book. Yes, John Chow is so generous that he gave his fortune secrets by giving out his e-book for free. You may have to visit his site, if you want to download a copy.

As I am writing this post, I am thinking of other ways to create a system that really works for me. That is why, I have tagged "The Quest" on the post title because I want to convey to the reader that this is not a post for making money by doing blogging. I might come to that point. But right now, I am still doing things so I can make my own system for successful money-making venture online.

Here are my top 10 lists for things that I have been doing to create a fortune through online means:

1) Reading several blogs about money making opportunities.

2) Reading forum posts to search for fresh ideas about online biz opportunities.

3) Purchasing a package data entry online package online so I can have cash as investment for the my own web hosted blogs and sites.( Hopefully, this is not a scam)

4) Searching for sites and forum sites about scams and other sites considered to be scams.

5) Signing up to get-paid-to-view-website sites( I have signed up for three and one of them is Clixsense)

6) Signing up to Max Invest.The best internet investment, Earn a XXX% daily profit!

7) I have also signed up to online casino and downloaded a software but I halt that move because...

8) I have signed up for Ebay, Twitter, Paypal and Alert Pay

9) I have also signed up for dealdotcom.com

10) I have made a new blog ( make that two).

I have made those on the list but I know there are still more to do.

I would like to experience passive income. I know residual income can be possible when you invest in real estate ( when you opt to lease your properties instead of selling them outright).

But I have this intuition that making passive income online is a near possibility.

Hope for more of this kind of post as this is just the commencement of my quest for making money online.

Top 10 Notebooks You Wish You Had!

Laptops and notebooks are considered very essential nowadays especially when you want to be mobile and you need to look over your online biz wherever you are in the world( as long as there is a fast internet connection).

And this holds true to many people who have careers in sales, marketing, accounting, finance and executive positions.

However, notebooks and laptops are not just for those people. Even college studes and high school teens want those gadgets and even need them to complement their lifestyles.

Now, here is a list that I have found from my source (www.laptopmag.com):

The Top 10 Notebooks (based on the sites latest issue circa August 14, 2009)

1)Toshiba Satellite L355

2) Lenovo ThinkPad T400S

3) Acer Timeline 3810T

4) Acer Aspire 6930G-6723

5) ASUS W90

6) Appler MacBook (13-inch)

7) Dell XPS Studio 16

8) Gateway MD7801u

9) HP Pavilion dv5t

10) Samsung X360-34P

Now, I don't want to make a review on each of those top 10 notebooks. If you want to view the full article as well as the reviews for each of the notebooks, you may as well visit the main source.

Luckily, I am using Toshiba Satellite which is on the top of the list. But I am still browsing over the manual if the model is L355. LOL.

T10 Biz Blog

Welcome!

This blog is created to feature the different products and services online on the Top list. The list is just restricted up to 10. But how about certain categories where the list does not reach to 10?

Well, I will just list the top products/services up to 10 on the list as long as it is not beyond ten. I mean 10, got it?

The T10 list is not just restricted for products and services sold online. I may have to include some lists sourced from offline data. Other categories will also be integrated.

Now, this blog is not just for listing.

1) I will also have to include my items here! Yes! You read it. I will have to sell some items here. I have my ebay account but so far I have not thought of selling some of my items there( hopefully soon!)

2) I will also integrate affiliate marketing and advertising here!

3) Free classified ads can also be posted here. If you wish something to be posted here such as job listings, products and services, just give me a mail( jorn23borj@gmail.com) and we'll work on something together ( as in business partnership) as long as we come into accord.

4) From time to time, I will post something personal here, like opinions, comments and reviews about certain products and services and even issues that may matter to you.

5) I have some other ideas to integrate on this blog site. I wish to have my own websites, I mean capital WEBSITES( and hosted blog sites with my own domain names) soon! I will give you updates on that when that happens but right now, I'll just settle for what it is free. (Yeah! Blogger is free for those who would like to have a blog and for those who can't afford yet for domain names and web hosting to launch their own blogs.)

So, so, so...

This blog is created for the above-mentioned listed purposes (see! my list did not reach up to 10). Just join me here and find something that you would like to have. Post some comments and we will make an interaction together.

and hopefully, I will make a forum( from freeforum sites) so the interaction will be taken to another level.

Welcome again!
