I’ll pick up on where we left off at the large shopping mall. And they had this mega event in the concord area inside the mall.

And indeed no one’s there anymore because there is nothing much left to see. They even close it with some thin layer of paper.

Giodano is slightly different in their place…Concept you say…rings a familiar sound? The Concept Store? Ehem.

Remember the huge ball earlier? This one animates at night. Literally with animation.

At night you’ll notice that this mall is their KLCC version, the twin tower of Gang’Hui.

Walking few metres down the mall will lead me to this street filled with snacks and people.

That’s street filled with brands ahead. You name it. Levi’s, Bossini, Adidas etc etc.

Oh the local car! It’s named QQ. Talk about dejavu and coincidence, at first I’d thought this is decent until most of the local people here diss this car are its being a sissy car. Well, not only that, later in my trip this car left a very deep memory in me. A dark one.

It’s not an ordinary tiang you would normally expect. It ANIMATES.

Looks tasty no? This is one of their local brand where it acts like our beloved McD which they literally sends their food to our doorstep. Xi Net Life is what they call themselves in English and Xi’Nian’Lai is the actual pinyin.

And next time, I learnt something that you shouldn’t just stick your card inside any hole you found on foreign country, unless it’s certified, you never know they might scare you off with not giving back your card. I almost shock to dead.

Note that stuff up there? The owner of the shop are reluctant to sell it away even the offer reaches 7000 RMB in value!
