Bored out of my tree again, so went out walking again, around the Xin-yi shopping district, near Shin-Kong Mitsukoshi. Nearby there is a shopping mall selling all the expensive branded things which, frankly, I have no interest in. However, is does have air-conditioning and its too hot outside to endure. It was surprisingly quiet inside, with not many people walking around. However, I did notice this huge sky window letting a lot of light into the place and thought it was quite nice, and took a snap. It is quite similar to the one I saw in new Manchester Arndale Centre, but this was one was a lot bigger!

After some sight seeing with Dipesh, I went to wander around the Xin-yi shopping district of Taipei, near the Shin-Kong Mitsukoshi Department stores. On arrival bumped into these fellows lying on the floor hugging. These retrievers are owned and looked after by the local dog shelter. They regulary come to tne Xin-yi shopping district handing out leaflets and reminding people we should adopt abandoned dogs as much as possible. The dog shelter seems rather good, as the dogs do look healthy and best of all, adoption of a dog is free. Very tempted to help out and adopt a dog for myself. I think it would be a good way to get out more and exercise. I think Amelie would love the idea of having a dog too. Will have to keep looking into this.
