Station Mall, Taipei, Taiwan

This mall is attached to the Central bus station behind Taipei Train Station.




5. a hotel called "Palais de Chine" is built on this mall. Interesting if they are under the influence from all those exaggerating building names from HK. Another legacy of those pro-foreign culture.

7/8. For those who have been to Siam Paragon in Bangkok, don't you find it a home coming.

Yes, they often put some caucasians in the TV/newspaper ads to have a kind of 'superior" impression. I would rather hope they spend more time to preserve the graceful parts of the Chinese culture.

Taiwan people are very "pro-western" as compared to HK people. Maybe HK people see enough westerners already so no big deal.
