I went to shop cameras today. It's not that I bought any, but perhaps I have a better idea of what's out there now.
Went to Guanghua again, as they have not only computers, but a lot of camera stores too. Now, I am not very good with cameras, actually. I can look at a photo and tell if it's good or not, or if it's just too damn blurry to see a thing, but I don't really know much about why it's so important to stick a wide array of overly expensive lenses into those DSLR's to make them take the best photo for the occasions.

Outside of the Guanhua New Digital Plaza, robots were rampaging the streets. A bunch of kids were running around and hitting the robotic baloons so that they almost fell over and the people who keep an eye over them had to ask the kids to behave.

Appareantly, Intel had some promotional going on about you being able to win a trip to russia, to fly military airplanes and fire missiles at poor farmers, should you decide to buy a computer with an Intel processor inside during these promotional days.

Inside, people are, of course, playing world of warcraft to promote some 'gaming' stationaries with lots of colored lights inside.

Like this. I mean... It's really cool and all that it looks like some spaceship or whatever on the inside, but how is this going to be usefull to anyone? Oh, and that brick in the middle with cooler master written on it has a processor inside that outputs 2.74 gHz according to the screen to the left.

Well, there's not much camera shopping over this, but that tauren druid totally just shapeshifted. Fuck I miss this game.
)
Of course they had girls dressed up. Even some of the food courts have that kind of thing around here. A lot of guys with expensive cameras kept taking pictures of them over and over, so I decided to take pictures of those guys taking pictures instead.
)
Look at that. Perhaps I should've just asked them what they use of cameras and I could've finished the day having a 90k NT$ camera in my hand smiling.

If you walk a little off from all that digital craze, you can get to an arts exhibit with cat women and stuffs. I just walked past.
Right next to that place there's a spot where you can walk along the highways on grass. Nothing's currently build there, and even though you are almost in the absolute middle of Taipei City, there's actually space for you. It's a lovely place that I'd love to get back to soon.

Right under this spot, theres a highspeed railway line for one of those trains that goes up to 400km/h. Amazing.

There's also these old tracks for normal trains, but it's closed now. And here's some very rare exposure to Taiwanese graffiti. You know it already: I am in the land of video games and there's nothing you can do about that jealousy growing in you.

After taking those pictures, I headed to another house in the rotary/rotaract-network. Maxine had some friends there, and of course, those friends were also members of rotaract and had parents that were members of rotary.
Well, I'll about how many people are, are related to, or know someone in rotary in another article. Ending up here was because some of the people there had tasted my rice pudding I made for The Christmas Party that was held at my house the 24th December. They wanted to learn how to make it and, obviously, craved it.
To make long stories short, the rice pudding didn't go well, partly because of wrong ingredients, mostly because of bad cooking. Not that we tried hard though. We played monopoly so much, that we decided to just do it another time.
Now, that was a day of events that went completely unforeseeable, eh?
I love this place.
