Stardust.. fantasy n Human Realm..

Is amazing or rather interesting to have a form changed when you cross over some line! In the movie "Stardust", a star becomes dust when she crosses into the human realm through a wall that separates the 2 world. Is not rather true that a tiny line divides right n wrong, fantasy and reality, sky and earth, man and animal, real and image?

Stardust is worth watching and I m going to get the book and the VCDs. If you love fairy tales, happy endings, witch crafts, magic, curses, romance, adventure and UK, this is the movie for you! From wikipedia, the filming locations of the movie took place in Scottish Highlands, Isles of Skye, and places in England itself such as Buckinghamshire. I like the landscape of these places and it really brings back memory of my stay in UK. I won mind backpacking in the highlands again. The air is fresh and the scenary is breath taking. U feel like you are one of the highlanders when u are in Scotland!

Anyway, UK will have to wait until next year perhaps. Back to Taiwan, Let's put up some more photos before I forgot where I have been.

Dream Mall in Kaohshiung, Taiwan. Accordingly, it is supposed to be the 6th largest mall in Asia. Well, is like any other mall with lots of shops. The best thing is it contains 2 bookshops of which my favourite is 誠品bookshop.

The interior of Dream Mall. This photo is taken to show the big escalator behind me.


Why? or spoilt? The Taiwanese has an interesting way of making English sounds Chinese. So next time when you say why, remember it may be spoilt instead!

The ferris wheel with carriages of Sario or Kitty and friends on them. This is located on the top floor of Dream Mall. Great view of Kaohshiung on it but then and again, the air is probably too polluted for you to really have a clear pic of the City.
