Francoise, Hisashi, Jasmine and I (the usual foursome) went to the Zhongxiao Dunhua（忠孝敦化）district in the afternoon amid a light drizzle, which is considered tolerable after consecutive days of heavy rain that had killed any incentive for us to travel outdoors. In fact, the weather today had been welcoming, with occasional winds that cooled us as we walked along the packed streets of shopping malls and outdoor vendors. I liken the district to a downsized Orchard Road, but the variety of merchandise available there can still satisfy an average shopper.
We left for Miramar Shopping Mall in the evening. A ferris wheel is located next to the Mall, and a seat at its carriages gets the passenger a clear view of Taipei's night scene. We paid NTD 150 each for a ride that had lasted for 20 minutes. For the skyline view and the casual chats between friends on board in such a setting, I think it's kinda worth the money. The whole ferris wheel flickers in shades of different colours at night, rendering it dazzling to watch from the ground. If I'm not terribly mistaken, some productions of Taiwanese idol drama serials had come for shots here.
We went to MacDonald's for supper, bumping into Bingxun and his female friend there. This constitutes to the second coincidence, and we wonder if there will be a third awaiting us ahead.
