Banks in Boxes, Strange Santa, and Tiny Trio

Two banks have moved into containers in the Restart Mall. 

Westpac Mobile Branch

 Westpac calls this the Mobile Branch, although it’s not actually moving.  It’s very handy for me because Stephen can do the VolCan banking there rather than one of our staff having to take a car to the Eastgate Branch.

ASB Temporary Bank

ASB calls their branch a Temporary Bank, more logical in my opinion.

 

Inside Ballantyne’s door there’s this strange Xmas figure.

Strangest Santa

 It’s advertising Kiehl’s cosmetics which have been around since 1851.  Maybe this is supposed to be one of their original employees?  I wonder what small children make of it.

Out in the Mall was a trio of young buskers playing Christmas carols.

Tiny Trio

 

The one on the right, playing a small-sized cello couldn’t have been more than six years old.  She was struggling with the music, but winning lots of admiring comments.

‘There’s lots to see at Restart Mall
with Christmas crowds enjoying it all.”
