I did visit the food court two years ago with my grandma on the day I flew into Taipei. It was the omuraisu (rice omelette) store since my grandma really likes omuraisu. To me, it was so heavenly eating delicious Asian food even if it wasn't top quality. The bookstore is pretty impressive although I agree people basically treat as a library with free AC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-78911361117372822932008-10-30T12:06:00.000+08:002008-10-30T12:06:00.000+08:00I think it is chic, the chinese on top says ~'popu...I think it is chic, the chinese on top says ~'popular novel'. I suppose a lot of chick lit these days are quite popular and/or made into movies too.<BR/>So maybe they are being extra clever calling it chic lit instead of popular novel. <BR/>But I doubt that :P<BR/><BR/>I believe that XD is a smiley face with crossed eye and open mouth - It's like laughing really hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-34632653615038168622008-10-29T23:59:00.000+08:002008-10-29T23:59:00.000+08:00anonymous: yup!

I was there last week, but didn't check out the food court - seems like I missed out. The bookstore never ceases to amaze me, not just for their wide selection but the sheer number of people there. Although I wonder how many books they actually sell considering (a) most people appear to browse without buying and (b) the prices are ridiculously high, even by American standards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-53707422958489419412008-10-28T08:08:00.000+08:002008-10-28T08:08:00.000+08:00It's supposed to be French instead of Freach, righ...It's supposed to be French instead of Freach, right?
