Submitted by Searider from blog: I went to the Taipei Metro Mall two times just this week. I take the MRT around the area it's located underneath several times every day, yet never heard of it just until this Monday where a teacher on my school asked me if I had been there yet. It's an awesome and quite big place with a lot of shops, all underground. That' (Read More)

Submitted by Searider from blog: That's one of the entrances into Ximending. I went there with my classmates yesterday. It reads Shimen in Latin letters, but you know...

So Ximen is actually the location o (Read More)
