Wandering Fel

Oh for a start, if you love to ice-skate, there is a very big ice-skating rink at the ground floor of E-da World Shopping Mall. I am not a big fan of ice-skating even though I learned how to ice-skate in one of the shopping centre's ice-skating centre in Jakarta. 

If you don't like skating, no worry, the E-da Shopping Mall has over 8 stories of stores. Yes, you are reading it correctly. Eight freaking stories. If you are a shopaholic, you can literally spend hours here. Most of the stores are branded though so the price of the goods sold here will be at the higher note. The shopping mall is also designed in Greek style. There is statue of Greek gods and goddesses with fountains scattered inside the mall. 

Oh wow, I never thought there is a Yankee Candle store here. So far, Taiwanese people that I know of, none of them burn aromatherapy candles. They all said it is a fire hazard since their bedroom is not even that big. And a lot of books and papers are scattered all around their bedroom. Well, it's no surprise because most of my Taiwanese friends are students. 

But that fact alone did not stop me from checking out what kind of candles that Yankee Candle sells. It does have some interesting candle smell (or flavor?). Beer and bacon smell? My goodness, my room is gonna smell like a pub if I light up these two candles. XD

Passing by a Coach store along the way, the queue is crazy. Never know that the Taiwanese loves Coach. On second thought, most of them are probably tourists since E-da World is a popular tourist spot, together with Dream Mall. 

After walking around for a few good hours, we were starting to get starving. Since a lot of restaurants are fully crowded at the dining hours, we just went to a random hotpot restaurant and oh boy, look at those beef slices. I'm loving this hotpot restaurant. Haizz, too bad none of us is taking picture of the restaurant's name because we were too hungry. U_U. 

E-da World Shopping Mall generally provides attractions and entertainment for all ages. However, the theme park rides I think are quite so so for adults. Shopping-wise, even though they call E-da Shopping Mall as an outlet mall, I do find the price of the goods sold here is quite expensive. I don't think I will go back here for shopping. 

We totally did not feel we were in Taiwan when we entered the complex. Oh there is a ferris wheel here too. Taiwanese shopping mall often has ferris wheels at the top of the shopping mall's building. This is the 3rd shopping mall's ferris wheel which I spotted during my stay in Taiwan. The first was at Miramar Entertainment Park in Taipei while the second was at another big shopping mall in Kaohsiung, Dream Mall.

I have been to the theme park section, E-da Theme Park before. It is a great theme park and its design is based on the ancient city of the Greek. It also has a Greek village which looks like Santorini because the houses inside the village are painted in white and blue, which is somewhat the "official" color of Santorini. 

We saw that there is a Go Kart ride which is available near E-da Theme Park too. But since it is located outside the theme park, you don't have to pay the entrance fee to the theme park to play go-kart. 

Getting to E-da World: 

E-Da World is located in the outskirt of Kaohsiung city but E-da World has provided E-da buses from a lot of locations in Kaohsiung's city centre. We took the bus from Zuoying THSR Line (Fo Guang Shan Station). There is usually a queue for the bus so we just asked around and joined the queue.
