Near my work there is a very interesting place that until now I had not paid the greatest attention, I had approached a few times to hang out and obviously I could see many stores with mostly anime theme but I had not done a deep exploration of the site. Taking advantage of the fact that I took some vacation days and that they coincided with Dina's, I decided it was time to approach Arenales Mall to check out all it has to offer.

Regarding the location, it is located at Av. Gral. Antonio Alvarez de Arenales 1737, District of Lince, Lima. The truth is that the access is quite convenient since much of the local transportation stops by this site, so that was not a major problem. Structurally it is very simple, there are five floors with a basic architecture but what really draws the attention of this place is everything it offers, this mall specializes in the Asian theme and there you can find clothes, food, games, toys, stuffed animals and many accessories and other items dedicated to fans of otaku or geek culture.

Cerca de mi trabajo hay un lugar muy interesante que hasta ahora no le había prestado la mayor de las atenciones, me había acercado algunas veces a pasar el rato y evidentemente podía ver muchas tiendas con temática mayormente anime pero no había realizado una exploración profunda del sitio. Aprovechando que tomé algunos días de vacaciones y que coincidieron con las de Dina, decidí que era hora de acercarnos al Centro Comercial Arenales para verificar todo lo que ofrece.

Respecto a la ubicación, este se encuentra en la Av. Gral. Antonio Alvarez de Arenales 1737, Distrito de Lince, Lima. La verdad el acceso es bastante cómodo ya que mucho del transporte local para por este sitio, así que eso no fue mayor problema. Estructuralmente es muy simple, son cinco pisos con una arquitectura básica pero lo que realmente llama la atención de este lugar es todo lo que ofrece, éste Centro Comercial se especializa en la temática asiática y allí puedes encontrar ropa, juegos, comida, juguetes, peluches y muchos accesorios y artículos más dedicados a los fans de la cultura otaku o friki.

Below you will see the wide variety of clothing and fabric products such as stuffed animals, purses, bags and other accessories. It is impressive all you can get, if you are an anime fan for sure you can get something allusive to your favorite series, from the most pop to the most underground. I must say that while I was walking around I could see anime clothes that I really like and that I couldn't find anywhere else.

A continuación verán la gran variedad de ropa y productos de tela como peluches, carteras, bolsos así como otros accesorios. Es impresionante todo lo que puedes conseguir, si eres fan del anime de seguro podrás obtener algo alusivo a tu serie favorita, desde lo mas pop hasta los mas underground. Debo decir que mientras caminaba podía ver prendas de animes que me gustan mucho y que de seguro no podría encontrar en otro lugar.

In the following series of photos I will show you the thousands and thousands of toys and funkos that are for sale in this mall. Something that caught my attention is how they have advanced in the details of the figures since you can see even the smallest detail in each one of them. As for the funkos, I assure you that you will be able to find the one you want.

En la siguiente serie de fotos les mostraré los miles y miles de juguetes y funkos que se encuentran a la venta en este centro comercial. Algo que me llamó la atención es como han avanzado en los detalles de las figuras ya que se puede ver hasta lo más mínimo en cada una de ellas. Respecto a los funkos, te aseguro que podrás encontrar el que se te antoje.

The food offer is not as varied as what I have shown you in the previous pictures but we can find very interesting things, it is mostly composed of Bubble Tea, Corndog and Sushi as well as some Korean treats.

Our gastronomic stop was composed of a couple of mixed Shawarmas (Chicken and Beef) that were spectacular; also, the most awaited moment for us, we had time watching on YouTube the famous Bubble Tea which looked appetizing and of course we took the opportunity, we could not stand the curiosity to know what those black bubbles were and they turned out to be very tasty, we can not wait to return to take another one.

Bro what a great market. It looks more like otaku heaven (if heaven would charge you, of course 🤣). I'm sure you enjoyed walking around the place very much.

It's totally otaku heaven, you have no idea how much you can get there, it's wonderful. A thousand thanks for your visit!!!

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Hello dear dswigle! It seems that I made some mistakes while posting here and for that I am very embarrassed, I ask you to please excuse me. I edited the post and added what I understood was missing, however, there is one point that I still don't understand, maybe it is because of translation issues: "5. Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it", I really don't know how to do this, I appreciate if you can clarify this point. Thank you in advance.

No reason to be embarrassed! This was your first post in #MarketFriday. As with all communities that I post in, I always look at the posts for that challenge to see how they are done. I didn't use to do that when I first got here, but, now I do. :)

Bro me encantó este video, te confieso que yo en un lugar así, me volvería loco haciendo compras semanales jajaja sobre todo de figuras, hace poco compré unas de Kimetsu no Yaiba que no podía desaprovechar por su precio, esas las mostraré con el juego pronto y tengo de Dragon Ball también y las traeré también con los juegos que tengo, me falta tener el juego de Naruto Ninja Storm 4 para también mostrar algunas figuras que tengo 😅!!!

Ese centro comercial me recordó que jode al Galería Plaza jajaja no sé porqué, pero en la medida que lo recorrías se me pareció mucho 😄 no por los locales sino por su distribución. Estos sitios son fabulosos para explorarlos y para pasar tardes de diversión; naguará los cosplayers ahí deben ser felices y fieles compradores 😁!!!

El sitio está muy calidad, via algunos locales que les falta cariño, pero la mayoría están muy calidad y oye se veía genial la bebida mi Bro y más para el clima 🔥🔥🔥!!!

Un abrazo grande hermano mío, gracias por ese paseo, me lo tripié full en serio, las fotos quedaron geniales mi Bro.... You Rockkkk!!!! 🙌😀💛

Este lugar es para volverse loco mi bro, me quedé corto con las fotos de las figuras que aquí venden, de Kimetsu no Yaiba hay muchas otras cosas impresionantes, la ropa y prendas ni se diga.

Es verdad que se parece un poco al Galería Plaza, tiene esa vibra de ser un sitio tranquilo sin mucha gente, totalmente de acuerdo contigo Fer.

Aquí se reúnen cosplayers con frecuencia para concursos y música en vivo, sin duda un momento ideal para pasarla bien.

Quedo atento a esas figuras que tienes para mostrar, de seguro está super cool. Mil pero mil gracias por tu apoyo!!! 💜

Este centro comercial está buenísimo, especialmente para los amantes de la cultura asiática. Me gustaría que en mi ciudad hubiera un sitio con estas características.
Las fotos están geniales, me alegra que la hayas pasado chévere allí.

Es correcto, este es un lugar de encuentro para los amantes de la cultura asiática, yo que trabajo cerca me doy cuenta de que siempre están cerca compartiendo y disfrutando. Gracias por la visita y el apoyo! 😊

Excelente paseo, se ve que es un lugar agradable para pasar un rato diferente. Me encantó que se enfocara tanto en la cultura asiática. Amé la sección de los funkos, me encantan. Se nota que disfrutaron el día y les agradezco por compartirlo con todos nosotros. Un abrazo chicos.

Efectivamente, pudimos pasar un rato distinto y probando algunas cosas que nunca habíamos probado, el Bubble Tea es una locura, no podemos esperar por probar otro pronto. Fue un placer compartir estimada Maite. Un abrazo!!

Nice nice, makes me wish I could travel just to visit the market and maybe get me an anime-related stuff😊.

It is true that it is very nice, here you can find absolutely everything related to anime, I think there are few places like this in the world. Thanks for your visit and support!
