I last visited this place for the millennium exhibition in 2000. Wow, what a transformation. Lots of eating places, bars, coffee shops, restaurants and a retail outlet mall. I went on a lovely sunny Spring Saturday for a stroll expecting it to be packed but only a few people were milling around. Many of the stores are not yet occupied. I'm sure that if a few more brand names came on-board the place will have a real vibe.
