I guess Ikspiari isn't to everyone's taste. There's something undeniably fake about it. If you can get past that and appreciate its design, then you'll come away thinking that at least it isn't boring. Personally, I do not find the shops particularly exciting (and there are many of them) but it's nice to just wander around, looking at Ikspiari from different angles.
