New Sogo


During the Chinese New Year holidays, there wasn't much to do, so we went to the newly opened Sogo in the city centre.

The building looked very modern, and I was quite impressesed with the design on the exterior with it soothing turquoise colours.

The new Sogo is only across the road from the old one, which is still opened for business. But if you want the high quality, designer label things, I suggest you go to the new one to fulfil your shopping requirements.



I was even more surprised to find a small Japanese garden on one of the floor in this new shopping mall. They certainly spend a lot of money on this building.



Amelie as usual was running around in the new place and exploring its different corners. She evern tried to get into the Japanese garden, which was out of bounds. I think the Japanese garden was a Feng-Shui thing. I didnt think the owners would be impressed if Amelie went into the garden and disturbed their cosmic balance!




There many things there amongst the expensive designer wear. The ones I noticed was a big Giant bicycle centre, with their display of the latest bicycle models, with the cheapest model starting at NTD$10,000. There was also a really big Sony Centre and right in the centre was a 55-inch Sony Bravia flatscreen television with the last incarnation of Ridge Racer for the Playstation3. Could I resist the temptation? Hell no! I saw the sales guy with the wireless controller and stood next to him until he handed it over for me to try in its full 55-inch HDMI glory! I was so into the game, I forgot to take a picture of myself...dammit.

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK...

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.

Superman Snappy

Snap the man of steel and score points! My first attempt, I got 82. This will just have to do until I get a new camera.
