"I thank God every day, I wake up feelin' this way."

Recently I have been unwillingly involved in so many unnecessary drama in life. I do not understand why people just want to poke me when I am just trying to live a peaceful life without offending anybody. But, I suppose maybe by being me, I offend someone somehow. One thing that I know for sure is I cannot stand faking. And I don't think I should change myself for anyone else ever. So yeah, if you don't like me, too bad. But if you keep poking me, I bet deep down you'd wanna be me too. Hahahaha.

Okay enough about this drama, let's continue our adventure in Carton King Creativity Park in Taichung. I'm surprised this location alone is taking 5 posts to tell story. We are now at the ending chapter of this saga and oh my gawd, the paper lamps sold at Taichung's main branch of Carton King really looks fantastic.

These beautiful lamps can be found at the one dimmed room at the souvenir store in Carton King. They are not cheap though and quite troublesome to carry around in your luggage. But if you don't mind these nitty gritty, I think they are really a good buy and can make a good display in your cozy bedroom. Especially when you don't feel like sleeping yet at night and you just want to lie down and nightdream away.

We got pretty tired after wandering around taking pictures and checking out stuff at the souvenir store, so it's time to find somewhere to sit and chill. We were considering between resting inside the restaurant or the cafe beside the souvenir store. But the cafe is not equipped with air-conditioner and the weather was kinda hot that day. So let's just rest at the restaurant. Hahaha.

Thankfully there is no minimum order imposed at this restaurant. We only wanted to utilise the NTD 100 voucher for drinks because we are saving space in our tummy for the famous Miyahara's ice cream. Yup don't lose the admission ticket to Carton King Creativity Park because the NTD voucher is attached to the admission ticket.

I really love this concept of paying admission fee + food/beverage voucher or souvenir store voucher. It kinda helps to justify the admission ticket price when you make the ticket multi-function in a way although it may be just another marketing gimmick. Maybe all of this lies in the psychology of consumer-buying. Hahaha oh my gawd, what am I talking about? I suppose I really need a drink since I started to talk rubbish.

Restaurant at Carton King Creativity Park Taichung

All drinks in Carton King will come out...well, inside a carton box. There is a hole meant for the straw so you don't have to un-box your drink. But at the same time you cannot really see your drink and end up with a picture of a mystery box. I did not even remember what I ordered but I think it has something to do with Honey. Probably Honey Aloe then. All I could remember is that the drink feels so refreshing on a hot sunny day in Taichung.

There were so many splendid dreams

When the weather is hot and you feel like sheltering yourself with a full-blown air-conditioner, it's time to go into the souvenir store at Carton King Creativity Park in Taichung. I do recommend you to check the souvenir store nonetheless because they have so many cute and interesting products made from carton and cardboard. Just like this cute newly wed paper couple which seriously looks pretty similar to their Japanese cousin, Danbo.

There's an arcade game which is made from paper from the targets to the guns. I'm gonna shoot all of you, nuisances with these...uhh, paper mini guns on my both hands. Bang bang bang!

If you doubt the quality of the material of the carton used by Carton King Creativity Park to make their products, you should try riding the toy horse which is 100% made from carton. My friend was kinda worried she's gonna spoil the horse but I wonder if her worry is a fake because at the end, she decided to ride on the horse anyway (while I was preparing myself to flee in case the worst happened to the horse). The horse was perfectly okay. Phew.

If you want to wear the paper, you may be interested in these paper shoes. Not sure if they are made to withstand the rain or the puddle though. So maybe it's best to wear these shoes on dry and sunny weather.

Alternatively, you may want to go for the paper sling bags or paper hats instead. These three paper dudes look pretty good wearing them.

But the best products which I saw in the souvenir store of Carton King Creativity Park in Taichung is these night lamps. They look so beautiful in the dimmed room, I was quite tempted to buy one to be honest with you. But the price and the weight of the good made me think twice before buying it. After all, I was lazy to drag my luggage all around the station and the lamp will put a lot of weight to my already heavy luggage.
